1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— 2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God {Theou} our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge (discernment) of the truth. 5 For there is one God {Theos}, and there is one mediator (reconciler) between God {Theou} and men, the man Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves), 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time. 1 Timothy 2:1-6, Berean Annotated Bible.
