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

But ye[ are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:Which in time past[ were] not a people, but[ are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.Dearly beloved, I beseech[ you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by[ your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

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

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:For he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to[ execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.Wherefore[ ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute[ is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

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 desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king:[ and] meddle not with them that are given to change:

I[ am one 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 the LORD?

The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing 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 peculiar people, zealous of good works.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name[ was] Simeon; and the same man[ was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

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

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

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that[ pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

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

I[ counsel thee] to keep the king’s commandment, and[ that] in regard of the oath of God.Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.Where the word of a king[ is, there is] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and[ toward] men.

Follow peace with all[ men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things[ are] honest, 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] no good in them, but for[ a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it[ is] the gift of God.

Issachar[ is] a strong ass couching down between two burdens:And he saw that rest[ was] good, and the land that[ it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
