1 Peter 2:17

17 Show proper respect to everyone. Love the community of believers. Have respect for God. Honor the king.

1 Peter 2:17 In-Context

15 By doing good you will put a stop to the talk of foolish people. They don't know what they are saying. God wants you to stop them.
16 Live like free people. But don't use your freedom to cover up evil. Live like people who serve God.
17 Show proper respect to everyone. Love the community of believers. Have respect for God. Honor the king.
18 Slaves, obey your masters with all the respect you should give them. Obey not only those who are good and kind. Obey also those who are not kind.
19 Suppose a person suffers pain unfairly because he wants to obey God. That is worthy of praise.
