1 Timothy 2:1

1I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men—

2for kings, and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all piety and gravity,

3for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Savior,

4who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
