2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
2:2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
2:3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
2:4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
2:7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
2:8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
