1 Timothy 2:1-6

New Century Version

Some Rules for Men and Women

2 First, I tell you to pray for all people, asking God for what they need and being thankful to him. ² Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God. ³ This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, ⁴ who wants all people to be saved and to know the truth. ⁵ There is one God and one mediator so that human beings can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who is himself human. ⁶ He gave himself as a payment to free all people. He is proof that came at the right time.
