1 Timothy 2:1

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake; (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
