1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 2New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving: Paul here stresses the importance of prayer by using a number of terms with similar meanings. (See study note on Php 4:6.) In this context, the word “intercessions” apparently refers to petitions made to God for the benefit of others. The Bible mentions such intercessions; for example, Moses interceded in behalf of Miriam and the people of Israel. (Nu 12:10-13; 21:7) In the Christian Greek Scriptures, servants of God are likewise encouraged to pray for others. (2Co 1:11; 2Th 3:1; Heb 13:18, 19; Jas 5:14-18) As for the term “thanksgiving,” Paul repeatedly urged Christians to express their gratitude in prayer.—2Co 4:15; Col 2:7; 4:2.
