1 Timothy 2:2-4 . 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1

Some scholars deny that this chapter records regulations with regard to the public services of the churches, but the vast majority agree that Paul's purpose is clearly that of laying down instructions for conducting the public services of the congregations. As David Lipscomb stated it, "He laid down rules for the men in the public worship, and then gave rules for the women."[1] Wallis referred the chapter to "the public worship";[2] Nute said it stressed "the importance of public prayer";[3]... 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

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
