I desire therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 2:8 Go To 1 Timothy 2
Jerome
AD 420
Whenever we lift up pure hands in prayer, without diverting distractions or contention, we are playing to the Lord with a tenstringed instrument. We play, as the psalmist wrote, “with tenstringed instrument and lyre, with melody upon the harp.” Our body and soul and spirit —our harp—are all in harmony, all their strings in tune.
