14or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
2:14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
2:14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.

2:14Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
