First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers,
petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for
kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet
life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This
is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who
desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For
there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus, 6 who gave Himself
as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For
this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am
not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.8 Therefore
I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and
dissension. (1 Timothy 2:1-8)
God bless you.
