So then, this is what I want to ask you first. Please pray for all people. Ask God to supply what they need. Ask God to help them. Thank God for what he does for everyone. Pray in that way for kings and for all rulers and people who have authority. Pray for God to help them, so that we may live our lives without trouble or danger. Then we can live in a good way that respects God and other people. It is good that we should pray like that. It makes God happy. He is the one who saves us. 1 Timothy 2:1-3
我勸你，第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝； 為君王和一切在位的，也該如此，使我們可以敬虔、端正、平安無事地度日。 這是好的，在上帝我們救主面前可蒙悅納。 提摩太前書 2:1-3
