In context

11Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

12Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

13Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

14Or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

15For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
