1 Peter 2:13First Nations VersionOn behalf of our Honored Chief, I call on you to come under all human governments. This includes the Ruler of the People of Iron (Caesar), as the highest authority, See the chapter |
“Then give this ruler the things that are his,” he told them, “but give to the Great Spirit the things that belong to the Great Spirit.” The spiritual leaders were amazed at his words. They could not believe it. They had failed right in front of all the people and could not use his words against him, so they walked away in silence.
This is true most of all for those who give themselves over to their bad-hearted, corrupt desires and who have no respect for authority. These bad-hearted ones are reckless, stubborn, and puffed up with pride. They do not even tremble with respect when they speak evil against spirit-beings of shining-greatness.
