I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
I Timothy 2:1-4
