1 Timothy 2:1-3

American Standard Version

2 I exhort therefore, first of all, ^[a]that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; ² for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. ³ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
