'''[[Mediation]]''' is frequently confused with '''[[Intercession of the saints|intercession]]''', and the two terms are often erroneously regarded as [[synonym]]s in standard [[thesaurus]]es<ref>See [https://www.powerthesaurus.org/mediation/synonyms '''mediation synonyms''' - Power Thesaurus (powerthesaurus.org)] and [https://www.powerthesaurus.org/intercession/synonyms '''intercession synonyms''' - Power Thesaurus (powerthesaurus.org)].</ref>. In the Bible St. Paul says{{cquote|I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, ''and'' giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and ''for'' all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this ''is'' good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour. <br>(1 Timothy 2:1-3 KJV <ref>See also Jeremiah 7:16; 36:25; Romans 8:26-27; 11:2</ref>)}}
