A Good and Well-Received Thing

1 Timothy 1:18-20

¹⁸This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

 ¹⁹Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

 ²⁰Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1 Timothy 2:1-4

¹I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

 ²For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

 ³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

 ⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
