First

"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiel life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the recognition of the truth."

"First of all"--a priority
"urge"--a plea from the Spirit--an "urgent" plea for right now
prayers of every kind for "ALL men"
prayers of every kind for "ALL in authority"
live a life characterized by tranquility, quietness, godliness, and dignity
That's the life that God responds to with "Well done, good and faithful servant."
That's the life that validates the beauty and loveliness of the truth
That's the life that draws men to Christ the Savior

We must live life on our knees not on our "high horse."

We must--WE--it's not about "them." What "they" do is irrelevant to my call to obedience. "First of all, then, I urge" you.
