Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority

Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme

Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to[ execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.Wherefore[ ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute[ is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,[ and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;For kings, and[ for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.

They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.

My son, fear thou the LORD and the king:[ and] meddle not with them that are given to change:

And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous[ are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

An evil[ man] seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

Likewise also these[ filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
