that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cup bearer to the king.

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious;

I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up Yahweh’s inheritance?”

May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.

They said,“ Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;and in knowledge, self- control; and in self- control perseverance; and in perseverance godliness;and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

I say,“ Keep the king’s command!” because of the oath to God.Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him,“ What are you doing?”Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

“ Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
