⁶ Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

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.
