First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

 

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.                   1 Timothy 2:1-4
