I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings,
and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who
will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the
truth.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 KJV

To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of
Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be
revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving
as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as
God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not
lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the
flock.
1 Peter 5:1-3 NIV

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and
considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Jesus
Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:7,8 NASB

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!
Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith
that saves is faith in Him.
