Pray for All Men

2 Therefore I ^[a]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 ^[b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and ^[c]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. ^5 (G)For there is one God and ^(H)one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, ^6 (I)who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

^9 (A)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but ^(B)is longsuffering toward ^[a]us, ^(C)not willing that any should perish but ^(D)that all should come to repentance.
