1 Timothy 2:4

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
