13 Soyez soumis, à cause du Seigneur, à toute autorité établie parmi les hommes, soit au roi comme souverain,

14 soit aux gouverneurs comme envoyés par lui pour punir les malfaiteurs et pour approuver les gens de bien.

15 Car c’est la volonté de Dieu qu’en pratiquant le bien vous réduisiez au silence les hommes ignorants et insensés,

16 étant libres, sans faire de la liberté un voile qui couvre la méchanceté, mais agissant comme des serviteurs de Dieu.

17 Honorez tout le monde; aimez les frères; craignez Dieu; honorez le roi.
