I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.
that men pray every where: Paul wants all men, not just Jews, in every place to pray. Prayer is not limited to the assembly, although wherever Christians assemble for worship, prayer should be offered. It should be so common that Jesus said, "My house should be called the house of prayer" (Matthew 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46). But prayer should extend beyond the assembly. Paul says that men should pray "every where": it should reach into every individual life and Christian home.
