9 “Blessed are ^cthe peacemakers, for ^dthey shall be called ^esons¹ of God.

58 ^mAs you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59 I tell you, ⁿyou will never get out until you have paid the very last ^openny.”¹

18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, ^llive peaceably with all.

Pray for All People

1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 ^vfor kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and ^wdignified in every way.
