New International Version NIV

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

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.

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.
