1. I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
2. for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4. who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua,
6. who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
7. to which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary (I am telling the truth in Messiah, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8. I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
