Verse 15 of 25

Scripture focus

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1 Peter 2:15 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

For. Peter now introduces the fundamental reason for the Christian’s submission to civil authority.

Will of God. The Christian submits, not from fear of punishment, but because God requires him to do so.

Well doing. Or, “exemplary conduct.”

Put to silence. Or, “keep on muzzling.” The best way to silence criticism is to provide no occasion for it.

Foolish. Or, “senseless,” that is, persons who falsely accuse Christians as “evildoers” (ch. 2:12).
