Pray for All People
1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2vfor kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and wdignified in every way. 3This is good, and xit is pleasing in the sight of yGod our Savior, 4who desires zall people to be saved and ato come to bthe knowledge of the truth. 5For cthere is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man1 Christ Jesus, 6dwho gave himself as a ransom for all, which is ethe testimony given fat the proper time. 7gFor this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (hI am telling the truth, I am not lying), ia teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
