1 Timothy 2:5-8

5For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus,

6who gave Himself as a ransom [a substitutionary sacrifice to atone] for all, the testimony given at the right and proper time.

7And for this matter I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying [when I say this]—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and disputing or quarreling or doubt [in their mind].
