1 Timothy 2:1-8


Exhortation to Prayer

First of all, then, I exhort that apetitions and prayers, requests and thanksgivings, be made for all men,
2 afor kings and all who are in 1authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and 2dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of aGod our Savior, 4 awho desires all men to be bsaved and to ccome to the 1full knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is aone God, and bone mediator also between God and men, the cman Christ Jesus, 6 who agave Himself as a ransom for all, the bwitness for 1cthis proper time. 7 aFor this I was appointed a 1preacher and ban apostle (cI am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of dthe Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore aI want the men bin every place to pray, clifting up dholy hands, without wrath and dissension.
