S – Honor everyone. Love the brothers and sisters. Fear God. Honor the emperor

 1 Peter 2:17 CSB

O – Commentary:

…A four-point summary of Christian citizenship. First, Christians are to respect (timēsate, “honor, value, esteem”; cf. timēn, “respect, honor,” in 3:7) … everyone (cf. Rom. 12:10; 13:7). Believers should be conscious of the fact that each human has been uniquely created in God’s image. Second, Christians are to love the brotherhood of believers, their brothers and sisters in Christ. God’s family members should love each other. Third, Christians are to fear God. The verb “fear” (phobeisthe) here does not mean to be in terror, but awe and reverence that leads to obedience (cf. phobō in 1 Peter 1:17, phobou in 3:16, and phobon in 2 Cor. 7:11). One will never truly respect people until he reverences God. Fourth, believers are to honor the king. “Honor” is from timaō, the verb used at the beginning of this verse. The respect or “honor” due to all is especially to be given to those God has placed in authority (cf. “the king” in 1 Peter 2:13 and “governors” in v. 14; cf. Rom. 13:1).

“1 Peter,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures,

A – We live every day with people.  Each person has a value in God’s eyes.  We should treat them with the same value.  We can do this while maintaining healthy boundaries if an individual harms our well-being.  Overall, we can yield our desires and feelings toward a person to God’s sovereignty.

R – Heavenly Father, we see the scope of your unlimited power today.  We invite your Holy Spirit to empower us to value each person.  They are important to you and we will treat them accordingly.  Give us grace to do this in a way that honors our love for you.
