1 Timothy 2:4 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Timothy 2.

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
