1 Peter 2:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Live as free men. But do not use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as servants of God. ¹⁷ Show respect for all people. Love the brothers and sisters of God’s family. Respect God. Honor the king.

Follow Christ’s Example

¹⁸ Slaves, accept the authority of your masters. Do this with all respect. You should obey masters who are good and kind, and you should obey masters who are bad.
