• 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)

Shew honour toa all, love the brotherhoodb, fear God, honour the king.

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

+
17
Honoura all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.

WK Translation Notes

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