1 Timothy 2:1-6 ▼

1 First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people,

2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
