1 Timothy 2:1-4 - 1599 Geneva Bible
1 I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,2 For Kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness, and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
4 Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the acknowledging of the truth.
Father God, this morning, I pray thee that you open my eyes to the words of your glorious gospel – Amen
Brethren:
We are expected, nay appointed, by God to pray for all mankind regardless of rank or stature. From the highest to the lowest, so that we might lead a quiet life without turmoil or strife. This reasoning is two fold, for if we are content in life with no threats we can then, secondly devote more time to God in worship. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, so let us pray likewise for their salvation. Love God, love others, these are the two greatest commands given unto us.
“Live justly, show kindness, walk humbly with your God” - Micah 6:8
R.P. Woitowitz
“Our duty as Christians is summed up in two words; godliness, that is the right [and correct] worshiping of God; and honesty; that is the good conduct towards all men. What is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour we should abound in.” - Matthew Henry
