²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

¹⁶ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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;

⁴ who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
