And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto Jehovah for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil- doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing.Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.

My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:

I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt- sacrifice;[ SelahGrant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

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

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.

seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;and in your knowledge self- control; and in your self- control patience; and in your patience godliness;and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.

And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

I counsel thee, Keep the king’s command, and that in regard of the oath of God.Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.For the king’s word hath power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment:

Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

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

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

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

Issachar is a strong ass, Couching down between the sheepfolds:And he saw a resting- place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork.
