1 Timothy 2:1-8

1 Timothy 2:1-8 CSB

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority,  so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness  and dignity.  This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,  who wants everyone  to be saved  and to come to the knowledge of the truth.  For there is one God  and one mediator  between God and mankind, the man  Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all,  a testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle  (I am telling the truth;  I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles  in faith and truth. Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
