Instructions on Worship

2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,^(A) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— ² for kings and all those in authority,^(B) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness^(C) and holiness.

³ Continue to remember those in prison^(A) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
