1Ti 2:3. Τοῦτο γὰρ, for this) The reason, why we must pray for all. It may be asked, why are not more converted? We do not sufficiently pray. It is a religious duty, that in behalf of ourselves, and in behalf of others, we should meet the will of God, which is favourable to us.-καὶ) and, therefore.-τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, our Saviour) who has actually saved us that believe. The antithesis is in the following verse: Who wishes that all, even including those who do not believe, should be saved: comp. ch. 1Ti 4:10. It is strange if a soul, having found in reality the salvation of God, can deny the universality of grace.
