1 Timotius 2:1

Prayer for All People

2:1 First of all, then, I urge that requests, ⁶  prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, ⁷ 

[39:15]  ¹ tn Heb “that I raised.”

[5:8]  ² tn Heb “your way.”

[5:8]  ³ sn There is a contrast made between “keep far away” (הַרְחֵק, harkheq) and “do not draw near” (וְאַל־תִּקְרַב, vÿ’al-tiqrav).

[5:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “keep, protect, guard.”

[5:2]  ⁵ sn This “discretion” is the same word in 1:4; it is wise, prudential consideration, careful planning, or the ability to devise plans with a view to the best way to carry them out. If that ability is retained then temptations to digress will not interfere.

[2:1]  ⁶ tn Or “petitions.”

[2:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “all men”; but here ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) is used generically, referring to both men and women.
