1 Timothy 2:8
I Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray. This refers back to I Timothy 2:1. Every where. In all places of public worship. Lifting up holy hands. This seems to indicate an attitude in prayer. The hands lifted up must be sanctified to holy deeds. Without wrath and doubting. Wrath would unfit for prayer. So would doubt; but the Greek word "dialogismos", rendered "doubting", is better rendered "disputing", as in the Revised Version.
