Honor and Love
Notes
Transcript
Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and exiles to abstain from sinful desires that wage war against the soul.
Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that when they slander you as evildoers, they will observe your good works and will glorify God on the day he visits.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the emperor as the supreme authority
or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do what is evil and to praise those who do what is good.
For it is God’s will that you silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
Submit as free people, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as God’s slaves.
Honor everyone. Love the brothers and sisters. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another.
Honor everyone. Love the brothers and sisters. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.
