                                              I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
                                         
                                                                                  
                                             2                                             
                                              For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
                                         
                                                                                  
                                             3                                             
                                              For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
                                         
                                                                                  
                                             4                                             
                                              Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
