1 Timothy 2:1-8 - Instructions To Pray For All People
1 I Beseech therefore, first of all, supplications to be made, prayers, entreaties, thanks, for all men; 2 For kings, and all them being in eminence; that we may lead a gentle and quiet life, in all devotion and gravity. 3 For this good and acceptable before our Saviour God; 4 Who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in his own time.
7 For which I was placed a herald, and the sent, (I speak truth in Christ, I lie not;) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.
8 I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.
