2 Pray for kings and others in power, so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives as we worship and honour God.
3 This kind of prayer is good, and it pleases God our Saviour.
4 God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is,
5 There is only one God,and Christ Jesusis the only onewho can bring usto God.Jesus was truly human,and he gave himselfto rescue all of us.
6 God showed us thisat the right time.
7 This is why God chose me to be a preacher and an apostle of the good news. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. God sent me to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth.
8 I want everyone everywhere to lift innocent hands towards heaven and pray, without being angry or arguing with each other.
