1 Timothy 2:4-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. God wants all people to be saved. And he wants everyone to know the truth.

5. There is only one God. And there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Jesus Christ, who is also a man.

6. Jesus gave himself to pay for the sins of all people. Jesus is proof that God wants all people to be saved. And that proof came at the right time.

7. That is why I was chosen to tell the Good News and was chosen to be an apostle. (I am telling the truth. I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach the non-Jewish people to believe and to know the truth.

8. I want men everywhere to pray. These men who lift up their hands in prayer must be holy. They must not be men who become angry and have arguments.
