1
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,
2
for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way.
3
This is good, and it is 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 there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.
