For kings--an effectual confutation of the adversaries who accused the Christians of disaffection to the ruling powers (Act 17:7; Rom 13:1-7). all . . . in authority--literally, "in eminence"; in stations of eminence. The "quiet" of Christians was often more dependent on subordinate rulers, than on the supreme king; hence, "all . . . in authority" are to be prayed for. that we may lead--that we may be blessed with such good government as to lead . . . ; or rather, as Greek, "to pass" or "spend." The prayers of Christians for the government bring down from heaven peace and order in a state. quiet--not troubled from without. peaceable--"tranquil"; not troubled from within [OLSHAUSEN]. "He is peaceable (Greek) who makes no disturbance; he is quiet (Greek) who is himself free from disturbance" [TITTMANN]. in all godliness--"in all (possible . . . requisite) piety" [ALFORD]. A distinct Greek word, Ti1 2:10, expresses "godliness." honesty--Greek, "gravity" (Tit 2:2, Tit 2:7), "decorum," or propriety of conduct. As "piety" is in relation to God, "gravity" is propriety of behavior among men. In the Old Testament the Jews were commanded to pray for their heathen rulers (Ezr 6:10; Jer 29:7). The Jews, by Augustus' order, offered a lamb daily for the Roman emperor, till near the destruction of Jerusalem. The Jewish Zealots, instigated by Eleazar, caused this custom to cease [JOSEPHUS, Wars of the Jews, 2.17], whence the war originated, according to JOSEPHUS.

افتح المصدر ↗2:2 all who are in authority: Those who had the power to persecute or to protect the church (see also Rom 13:1-7; 1 Pet 2:13-17). • live peaceful and quiet lives: The point was not for Christians to blend in and be unnoticed, but to display the beauty of the Good News and allow the church’s mission to proceed without unnecessary complications (cp. 2 Tim 3:12; 1 Pet 3:13-17). • The word godliness and its cognates (also at 1 Tim 3:16; 4:7-8; 5:4; 6:3, 5-6, 11) sum up the beliefs, attitudes, and lifestyles that accord with right and reverential knowledge of God, obedience, and authentic worship.

وَاطْلُبُوا سَلاَمَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي سَبَيْتُكُمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَصَلُّوا لأَجْلِهَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ بِسَلاَمِهَا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلاَمٌ.
عَنْ تَقْرِيبِ رَوَائِحِ سُرُورٍ لإِلهِ السَّمَاءِ، وَالصَّلاَةِ لأَجْلِ حَيَاةِ الْمَلِكِ وَبَنِيهِ.
يَا ابْنِي، اخْشَ الرَّبَّ وَالْمَلِكَ. لاَ تُخَالِطِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِينَ،
وَأَنْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ، وَتُمَارِسُوا أُمُورَكُمُ الْخَاصَّةَ، وَتَشْتَغِلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ،
يَا سَيِّدُ، لِتَكُنْ أُذْنُكَ مُصْغِيَةً إِلَى صَلاَةِ عَبْدِكَ وَصَلاَةِ عَبِيدِكَ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ مَخَافَةَ اسْمِكَ. وَأَعْطِ النَّجَاحَ الْيَوْمَ لِعَبْدِكَ وَامْنَحْهُ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ هذَا الرَّجُلِ». لأَنِّي كُنْتُ سَاقِيًا لِلْمَلِكِ.
اِتْبَعُوا السَّلاَمَ مَعَ الْجَمِيعِ، وَالْقَدَاسَةَ الَّتِي بِدُونِهَا لَنْ يَرَى أَحَدٌ الرَّبَّ،
اَلَّلهُمَّ، أَعْطِ أَحْكَامَكَ لِلْمَلِكِ، وَبِرَّكَ لابْنِ الْمَلِكِ.
إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِنًا فَحَسَبَ طَاقَتِكُمْ سَالِمُوا جَمِيعَ النَّاسِ.
أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ حَق÷، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ جَلِيلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ عَادِلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ طَاهِرٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مُسِرٌّ، كُلُّ مَا صِيتُهُ حَسَنٌ، إِنْ كَانَتْ فَضِيلَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَدْحٌ، فَفِي هذِهِ افْتَكِرُوا.
لِذلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضًا أُدَرِّبُ نَفْسِي لِيَكُونَ لِي دَائِمًا ضَمِيرٌ بِلاَ عَثْرَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ.
