“I
exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For
kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come
unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be
testified in due time.”
I Timothy 2: 1-6
