New International Version

¹² Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds^(A) and glorify God^(B) on the day he visits us.

¹³ Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority:^(C) whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, ¹⁴ or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong^(D) and to commend those who do right.^(E)
