13 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.

² Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.

⁵ Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

⁶ For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.
