Instructions on Worship

1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers,¹ intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- 2 for kings and all those in authority,² that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness³ and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases⁴ God our Savior,⁵ 4 who wants⁶ all men⁷ to be saved⁸ and to come to a knowledge of the truth.⁹ 5 For there is one God¹⁰ and one mediator¹¹ between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,¹² 6 who gave himself as a ransom¹³ for all men--the testimony¹⁴ given in its proper time.¹⁵ 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying¹⁶--and a teacher¹⁷ of the true faith to the Gentiles.¹⁸ 8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands¹⁹ in prayer, without anger or disputing.
