1 Timothy 2:5-8 New International Version (NIV)

5. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6. who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

7. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

8. Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
