1 Timothy 2:6

The cross and atonementJesus ChristSalvation

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,

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.
