14 or to governors as sent by him (A)to punish those who do evil and (B)to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, (C)that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 (D)Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but (E)living as servants[a] of God.
