Show proper respect for orderly government, even if it is human. Uphold the legal processes of the land and the laws that are not against righteousness and God's law. By loving acts and by prayer show yourself willing to help even your foes and persecutors to find the way to salvation. Let no unjust acts provoke hatred that seeks only for hurt to befall your personal enemies. W 2/1
