Expositional Theology:

Primasius of Hadrumetum (c. 551/560):

[Commentaria in epistolas S. Pauli; Ad Timotheum Epistola Prima; Caput II]

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

That they may know God, or that they may have nations subject unto them: for in their peace our quiet consisteth: for if they be Christians, the assault of persecution shall cease.
