1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

1 My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

2 For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.
