1 Timothy 2:1-8
A Call to Prayer
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1:
2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
2:
3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
3:
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
4:
5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
5:
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
6:
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
7:
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
8:
