Chapter 2

for kings, and for all in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and worthy behavior.

This is good and agreeable in the sight of God our Savior,

who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

who gave himself a ransom for all, bearing witness in his own time.
