1 Timothy 2:5-8

5For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.

6He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.

7And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.

8In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.
