To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work.

who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
