1 Tim. 1:20      1 Tim. 2:2

First letter to Timothy 2:1

[Although a new paragraph begins here, there is a connection to the previous topic where some have suffered shipwreck in the faith. Prayer, which is primarily communion with God, keeps a person on the path of faith.]
Therefore, I urge you [Timothy] first of all (as something very important that must be given priority) to
prayers (personal specific needs, even under cries or loud weeping, see Heb. 5:7),
confidential prayers (interactive two-way dialogue, conversation, worship, and devotion in intimacy with God) [the most common word for prayer in the NT, see verse 8],
intercessions (pleading for the needs of others and that God's will be done in their lives)
[The root word means "to hit the target"The verb is used in Rom. 8:26–27 where the Spirit helps us to find God's will in prayer. The noun is only used here and in 1 Tim. 4:5. In the apocryphal book of 2 Maccabees 4:8, the word is used to refer to an audience with the king. Intercession is a confidential consultation with God.] and thanksgiving [all four words are plural in Greek, referring to persistent prayer], for all (categories of) people,
