Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

因為人如果為了在神面前良心的緣故，在不公正的苦害中忍受憂患，這是可稱讚的；

我勸你遵守王的命令，因為你向神起了誓；

為了主的緣故，你們要服從人的一切制度；無論是在上的君王，或是他所委派來懲惡賞善的那些官員；因為神的旨意就是要你們藉著行善，堵住那些愚妄人無知的口。

不過要以溫柔、敬畏的心答覆，並且持守無愧的良心，以致誰詆毀你們在基督裡的良好品行，誰就要在你們受到誹謗的事上蒙羞。

你提醒他們要服從統治者和掌權者，要順從，並要為一切美善的工作做好準備；不要毀謗人、不要爭吵；要謙和，在一切事上對所有的人都要顯出溫柔。

請為我們禱告；因為我們深信自己有無愧的良心，願意在一切事上行事正直。

因此，在神和人面前，我總是盡力存著無愧的良心。
