1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: 2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
8 Good and upright is the LORD,
therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good,

to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning,
and your faithfulness every night,

and with the melody of the lyre.
28 But it is good for me to come close to God.
I have made the Lord the LORD my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.

to the soul who seeks him.

and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

His loving kindness endures forever,
his faithfulness to all generations.
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving. 5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
