Login13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human
institution, whether it be to the emperor as
supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to
punish those who do evil and to praise those who
do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by
doing good you should put to silence the
ignorance of foolish people.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax." And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" 21 They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;
15 By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; 16 by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly.
Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."
1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
