15. For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may bring about the silence of imprudent and ignorant men,
16. in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God.
17. Honor everyone. Love brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and meek, but also to the unruly.
19. For this is grace: when, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice.
20. For what glory is there, if you sin and then suffer a beating? But if you do well and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.
21. For you have been called to this because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps.
