Peter enjoins Christians to be good citizens by
Answer Details
Peter enjoins Christians to be good citizens by submitting to civil authorities. In 1 Peter 2:13-17, Peter admonishes Christians to "submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right." He emphasizes that doing good is pleasing to God and that Christians should honor everyone, love their fellow believers, fear God, and honor the emperor. Therefore, Christians are called to obey the laws of the land, pay taxes, and generally be good citizens.
