    1 Peter 2:12-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

    12 Keep your behavior excellent among the [unsaved] Gentiles
    [conduct yourself honorably, with graciousness and integrity], so that
    for whatever reason they may slander you as evildoers,
    yet by observing your good deeds they may [instead come to] glorify God
    in the day of visitation [when He looks upon them with mercy].

    Honor Authority

    13 Submit yourselves to the authority of every human institution
    for the sakeof the Lord to honor His name,
    whether it is to a king as one in a position of power,
    14 or to governors as sent by him to bring punishment to those who do wrong,
    and to praise and encourage those who do right.

    15 For it is the will of God that by doing right you may silence (muzzle, gag)
    the [culpable] ignorance and irresponsible criticisms of foolish people.

    16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover or
     pretext for evil, but [use it and live] as bond-servants of God.

    Titus 3:1-3 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

    3 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient,
    to be ready for every good work,

    2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle,
    and to show every courtesy to everyone.

    3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray,
    slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days
    in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another    .

    14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature],
    tossed back and forth
    [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by
    every wind of [shifting] doctrine,
    by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men,

    Ephesians 6:10-17Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

    10 To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the Lord and in his great power.

    11 Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks.

    12 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against
    the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness.
    We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.

    13 That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil,
    you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight,
    you will still be standing.

    14 So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist,
    and on your chest wear the protection of right living.

    15 On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong.
    16 And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows
    that come from the Evil One.

    17 Accept God’s salvation as your helmet.
    And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God.

    41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover Feast.

    43 and as they were returning [to Nazareth], after spending the required number of days [at the Feast],
    the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Now His parents did not know this,

    44 but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and traveled a day’s journey; and [then]
    they began searching [anxiously] for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
    45 When they did not find Him, they went back to Jerusalem looking for Him [everywhere].

    46 Three days later they found Him in the [court of the] temple, sitting among the teachers,
    both listening to them and asking them questions.

    47 All who heard Him were amazed by His intelligence and His understanding and His answers.

    48 When they saw Him, they were overwhelmed; and His mother said to Him,
    “Son, why have You treated us like this? Listen, Your father and I
    have been [greatly distressed and] anxiously looking for You.”

    49 And He answered, “Why did you have to look for Me?
    Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

    50 But they did not understand what He had said to them.

    51 He went down to Nazareth with them, and was continually submissive and
     obedient to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
