1 Timothy 2:1-7 (Epistle, New Year)
- 1
- Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
- 2
- for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
- 3
- For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
- 4
- who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- 5
- For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
- 6
- who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
- 7
- for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle – I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying – a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
