1 Therefore I 1 exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 a for kings and b all who are in 2 authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and 3 reverence. 3 For this is c good and acceptable in the sight d of God our Savior, 4 e who desires all men to be saved f and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
