1 Timothy 2:1-6 ▼

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

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

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

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

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
