1
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2
for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
3
For 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 between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
6
who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
