Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Timothy 2:3

"This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;" — 1 Timothy 2:3 (ASV)

For this is good and acceptable.—That prayer be offered for all sorts and conditions of people is good and acceptable before God.

In the sight of God our Saviour.—Here, as in 1 Timothy 1:1, this title of “Saviour” is given to the Father, and is in this place singularly applicable, as it immediately precedes the famous statement of the next verse concerning the boundless mercy of the Eternal.
