1 Timothy 2:1-4
I urge, then, first of all,
that requests, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving
be made for everyone —
for kings and all those in authority,
that we may live peaceful and
quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good,
and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved
and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
