1 Timothy 2:1-7

1First of all, I encourage you to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and prayers of thanks for all people,

2for rulers, and for everyone who has authority over us. Pray for these people so that we can have a quiet and peaceful life always lived in a godly and reverent way.

3This is good and pleases God our Savior.

4He wants all people to be saved and to learn the truth.

5There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and humans—a human, Christ Jesus.

6He sacrificed himself for all people to free them from their sins. This message is valid for every era.

7I was appointed to spread this Good News and to be an apostle to teach people who are not Jewish about faith and truth. I’m telling you the truth. I’m not lying.
