An Admonition to Pray for All Men on the Basis of Christ's Atoning Death

For whom Christians should pray and why:

1 Timothy 2:1-4

1 I exhorta therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;b that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
