And all for and for all , A.V.; high place for authority , A.V.; tranquil and quiet for quiet and peaceable , A.V.; gravity for honesty , A.V. For kings , etc. The early Liturgies closely followed these directions. "Every day, both in the evening and the morning, we offer prayers for the whole world, for kings, and for all in authority" (Chrysost., in loc .). So in the Liturgy of St. Mark: "Preserve our king in peace, in virtue, and righteousness.... Subdue his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:2

Nothing in the gospel was revolutionary. Its aim was not to upset thrones, but to purify all the centers of power; not to make assault at once on polygamy and slavery, but to undermine them by the Christian spirit and sacrifice. Prayer is here made for kings and all in authority. Rulership there must be. Anarchy is misery. Fields must be ploughed; grain must be stored; homes must be protected; or else weakness becomes the prey of strength. The purpose, then, of God, in ordination of law and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:2

For kings - On the respect due to rulers, see the notes on Romans 13:1-7. The meaning here is, that while all people should be the subjects of prayer, those should be particularly remembered before the throne of grace who are in authority. The reason is, that so much depends on their character and plans; that the security of life, liberty, and property, depends so much on them. God has power to influence their hearts, and to incline them to what is just and equal; and hence we should pray that... read more

For kings Especially; and for all that are in authority “That is, for the ministers and counsellors of kings, and for the inferior magistrates, by whatever name they may be called, seeing even the lowest country magistrates frequently do much good or much harm. In the early times the Jews prayed for the heathen princes, who held them in captivity, (Ezra 6:10; Bar 1:10-11 ,) being directed by God so to do, Jeremiah 29:7. But afterward becoming more bigoted, they would not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

2:1-4:16 CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND TEACHINGConduct in church meetings (2:1-15)Teachers of the kind Paul has described in Chapter 1 are usually narrow in their outlook and pray only for those of their own group. Christians should avoid such selfishness. They should pray for all without distinction, for God wants all to be saved (2:1-4). This salvation comes through the death of Jesus Christ. Paul rejoices that God has appointed him an apostle and teacher to make known this good news to the Gentiles... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

"In saying ’first of all’ Paul underlined the importance of this Godward aspect of the ministry of the church. Paul did not mean that such praying must be the first thing Christians do whenever they assemble, as the word order in the King James Version might imply, but rather that it is an activity he regarded as of primary importance in the total ministry of the church. His use of the present tense throughout these verses indicates that he was setting before them what he hoped would be the... read more

A. The priority of prayer for peoples’ salvation 2:1-7The apostle’s first positive instruction to Timothy regarding his leadership of the Ephesian church was that believers should offer prayer for all people. He gave this directive to emphasize its importance, defend its value, and clarify its practice."The ministry of prayer is the most important service that the Church of Christ can engage in."It [prayer] is the most dynamic work which God has entrusted to His saints, but it is also the most... read more
