Submission and Service in Exile — 1 Peter 2:13-20 God has established defined roles of authority in the family, church, and government to promote good and punish evil. [1 Peter 2:13-17] God’s people are commanded to humbly submit and obey the proper authorities, unless we are forced to do anything against God and His word. [1 Peter 2:13-17] We are called to be good and faithful servants, following the example of Jesus, who did not come to be served but to serve. [1 Peter 2:18-20] As We Go … Let us humble ourselves under God and in due time we will be exalted.
