On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

One reason why all men are to be prayed for is because there is one God, and that God bears a good will to all mankind.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Our prayers ought to include all, as God's grace included all. to come--They are not forced. unto the knowledge--Greek, "the full knowledge" or "recognition" (See on 1Co 13:12; Php 1:9). the truth--the saving truth as it is in, and by, Jesus (Joh 17:3, 17).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Who willeth seriously all men - Not a part only, much less the smallest part. This is treated of, ver. 5, 6. And, in order thereto, to come - They are not compelled.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
