New International Reader's Version

1 Timothy 2:4-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. He wants everyone to be saved. He wants them to come to know the truth.

5. There is only one God. And there is only one go-between for God and human beings. He is the man Christ Jesus.

6. He gave himself to pay for the sins of everyone. That was a witness given by God at just the right time.

7. I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news. I am telling the truth. I'm not lying. God appointed me to be a teacher of the true faith to those who aren't Jews.

8. I want men everywhere to pray. I want them to lift up holy hands. I don't want them to be angry when they pray. I don't want them to argue.
