1 Timothy 2:8

8 I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument;

1 Timothy 2:8 In-Context

6 who gave himself a ransom for all —this was attested at the right time.
7 For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument;
9 also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes,
10 but with good works, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.
