1 Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,

3 For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
