1 Peter 2:13 in Context — 1 Peter 2
11 Amados, como a peregrinos e estrangeiros, eu vos peço que vos abstenhais dos desejos carnais, que batalham contra a alma,
12 e que tenhais um bom comportamento vosso entre os pagãos; para que, naquilo que de vós, como de malfeitores, falam mal, no dia da visitação glorifiquem a Deus por causa das [vossas] boas obras que tiverem visto.
13 Portanto sujeitai-vos a toda autoridade humana, por causa do Senhor; seja ao rei, como superior;
14 seja aos governantes, como enviados por ele, com o objetivo de castigar os malfeitores, e de conceder honra aos que fazem o bem.
15 Pois esta é a vontade de Deus, que, ao fazerdes o bem, caleis a ignorância dos homens tolos.
