Submit to Authorities verses 13-14

for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.

To Silence Slander verse 1515For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 

1 Corinthians 9:9 Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.

To Represent His Name verses 16-17

16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

To the Good and the Bad verses 18b-20not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 20But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. I Corinthians 7:20 Each one should remain in the situation which he                                   was in when God called him.

The Example of Christ verse 21

21To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

The Response of Christ verses 22-23

 22"He committed no sin,       and no deceit was found in his mouth." 

23When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

The Result from Christ verse 24

24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

The Relationship with Christ verse 25

25For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

What do we do when our rights are taken, when we have been given injustice?

Are we really that different from those around us?
