1 Timothy 2:3

Verse 3 of 15. The 2nd of 6 chapters in 1 Timothy, in The Letters of Paul.

1I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

2for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

4who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

7to 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.
