1 Timothy 2:1-6 ▼

1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

3 for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

5 for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --
