1 Timothy 2:1-8

1First of all, then, I urge that 1requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, 2 2for kings and all who are in 3authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and 4dignity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of 5God our Savior, 4 6who wants all people to be 7saved and to 8come to the 9knowledge of the truth. 5For there is 10one God, and 11one mediator also between God and mankind, the 12Man Christ Jesus, 6who 13gave Himself as a ransom for all, the 14testimony 15given at 16 17the proper time. 7 18For this I was appointed as a 19preacher and 20an apostle (21I am telling the truth, I am not lying), as a teacher of 22the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8Therefore 23I want the men 24in every place to pray, 25lifting up 26holy hands, without anger and dispute.
