I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made - supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,

In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:

This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;

For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, - a man - Christ Jesus:

Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, - the testimony, in its own fit times:

Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle - Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood - a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

I am minded, therefore, that - the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;
