Q: In the opening verses of this passage, whom does Paul say to pray for? What does he say to pray for them?
A: Easy enough. Paul tells them to pray for Kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. I like easy questions….short simple and to the point.

I think the most important part of the opening passage is that we are exhorted to pray for ALL people. Then it goes on to say pray for kings and those in authority. I like these passages of scripture a lot cause it speaks of God wanting EVERYONE to be saved not just an elect few. (verse 4) He gave Himself as a ransom for ALL. (verse 6)
