1 Peter 2:12-15, 19

1 Peter 2:12-15 ESV

Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

1 Peter 2:19 ESV

For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
