1 Timothy 2:1-7

The Message Bible MSG

1 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

2 Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation.

3 This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

4 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned:

5 that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us - Jesus,

6 who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out.

7 This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.

New International Version NIV

1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—

2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
