NET Bible
"even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity."
— 1 Timothy 2:2, NET Bible
“For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
“for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. ”
“for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.”
“For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.”
“For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.”
“For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
Prayer for All People First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people,
even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior,
since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human,
