New Testament

1 Peter 2:12-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13. Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

14. or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
