1 Timothy 2:1-8

MSTC(i) 1 I exhort therefore that above all things, prayers, supplications, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be had for all men: 2 for kings, and for all that are in authority that we may live a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. 3 For that is good and accepted in the sight of god our saviour, 4 which will have all men saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Jesus, 6 which gave himself a ransom for all men, that it should be testified at his time; 7 whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle — I tell the truth in Christ and lie not — being the teacher of the gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will, therefore, that the men pray every where, lifting up pure hands without wrath, or doubting.
