• Loving the brotherhood is a constant duty; but the love takes a shape according to their state. No Christian is called to love carnality or worldliness; nor yet a schismatic way, nor the heretical or sectarian, but to turn away from the one, and to have no more to do with the other after a first and second admonition, however once perhaps honored in God's service. Love would take pains with those guilty of lesser faults, admonishing the unruly, comforting the faint-hearted, sustaining the weak, and patient toward all. It is the very reverse of either self-seeking or indifference, or independency. (“1 Peter 2:13-17” by W. Kelly)
• "honor the king." This too is continuous. Whatever may be his personal character, he represents God in the things of earth. (“1 Peter 2:13-17” by W. Kelly)

JND Translation Notes

a
"Shew honour" is the aorist; the other verbs in this verse are the present tense. Hence, "shew honour" is more the act when occasion arises; the others, the constant habit of mind.
b
Only here and ch. 5.9.

W. Kelly Translation

Honoura all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.

WK Translation Notes

The difference of the words in the aorist and present is difficult to convey tersely in English.
