Article, Kevin DeYoung, What Does the Bible Teach About the Responsibility of Those Who Govern the Nations?

While one could argue that Paul would command a different sort of prayer under different circumstances, there is no evidence from 1 Timothy 2:2, or from anything else Paul writes, that he expected or demanded the governing authorities promote Christianity above other religions. Of course, Paul didn’t live in a country or an empire with any Christian heritage or with a Christian majority. To say Paul did not require the promotion of Christianity from the governing authorities is not the same as saying he forbade it. We should not think 1 Timothy 2:2 prevents Christians from praying for more than “a peaceful and quiet life.” At the same time, it seems fair to conclude from Romans 13 and 1 Timothy 2 that if the governing authorities encourage what is good, punish what is evil, and protect the church from persecution, then they are fulfilling the mandate Paul had in mind. This conclusion also resonates with aphorisms about kings in the book of Proverbs and is consistent with the example of the Old Testament, where the pagan nations were punished, above all else, for mistreating God’s people.
