1 Timothy 2:1
Directions Concerning Public Worship
SUMMARY OF I TIMOTHY 2: Prayers for Rulers. The Will of God That All
Should Be Saved. How Men Must Pray. Concerning the Dress of Women at
Worship. Concerning Women Teaching.
Therefore I exhort. This chapter contains some directions concerning
public worship.
First of all. Paul probably means that, first in order, prayers
should be offered for all men, etc. So says Conybeare and Howson, and
many others. Thus should the worship open.
Supplication, prayers, intercessions. It is difficult to distinguish
between these three words. Plumptree says,
``Perhaps the idea in "supplication" is that of want; in
"prayers" that of solemn devotion; and in "intercessions"
that of individual petitions to God.'
