1 Timothy 2:2
Douay-Rheims
For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
Theophilus of Antioch
Moreover, concerning subjection to authorities and powers, and prayer for them, the divine word gives us instructions, in order that "we may lead a quiet and peaceable life." And it teaches us to render all things to all, "honour to whom honour, fear to whom fear, tribute to whom tribute; to owe no man anything, but to love all."
