1 Therefore, first of all I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people—
2 for kings and all who are in authority—so we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and respectfulness.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.
4 He desires all men to be saved and come into the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and there is one Mediator between God and men—a human, Messiah Yeshua,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony at the proper time.
7 For this I was appointed a herald and an emissary (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and truth.
