Romans13:1-2
CHAPTER 13
Ro 13:1-14. Same Subject Continued--Political and Social Relations--Motives.
1-2. Let every soul--every man of you
be subject unto the higher powers--or, "submit himself to the authorities that are above him."
For there is no power--"no authority"
but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God--"have been ordained of God."
