1 Timothy 2:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time.

⁷ And of this matter I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (special messenger)—I am speaking the truth in Christ, I do not falsify [when I say this]—a teacher of the Gentiles in [the realm of] faith and truth.

⁸ I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands.
