1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all men,
2 for sovereigns and all those who are in authority, in order that we lead a calm and peaceable life in all reverence and seriousness.
3 For this is good and acceptable before Elohim our Saviour,
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men, the Man Messiah יהושע,
6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be witnessed in its own seasons,
7 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary – I am speaking the truth in Messiah and not lying – a teacher of the gentiles in belief and truth.
