Romans 13:1-6
All of you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God.So whoever opposes the authorities opposes leaders whom God has appointed. Those who do that will be judged.If you do what is right, you won’t need to be afraid of your rulers. But watch out if you do what is wrong! You don’t want to be afraid of those in authority, do you? Then do what is right, and you will be praised.The one in authority serves God for your good. But if you do wrong, watch out! Rulers don’t carry a sword for no reason at all. They serve God. And God is carrying out his anger through them. The ruler punishes anyone who does wrong.You must obey the authorities. Then you will not be punished. You must also obey them because you know it is right.That’s also why you pay taxes. The authorities serve God. Ruling takes up all their time.

Deuteronomy 29:1-15
Here are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in Moab. The terms were added to the covenant he had made with them at Mount Horeb.Moses sent for all the Israelites. Here is what he said to them. With your own eyes you have seen everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh. You have seen what he did to all Pharaoh’s officials and to his whole land.With your own eyes you saw how the Lord really made them suffer. You saw the signs and amazing things he did.But to this day the Lord hasn’t given you a mind that understands. He hasn’t given you eyes that see. He hasn’t given you ears that hear.Yet the Lord says,“ I led you through the desert for 40 years. During that time your clothes didn’t wear out. The sandals on your feet didn’t wear out either.You didn’t eat any bread. You didn’t drink any kind of wine. I did all these things because I wanted you to know that I am the Lord your God.”When you got here, Sihon and Og came out to fight against us. Sihon was the king of Heshbon. And Og was the king of Bashan. But we won the battle over them.We took their land. We gave it to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh as their share.Be careful to obey the terms of this covenant. Then you will have success in everything you do.Today all of you are standing here in the sight of the Lord your God. Your leaders and chief men are here. Your elders and officials are here. So are all the other men of Israel.Your children and wives are here with you too. So are the outsiders living in your camps. They chop your wood and carry your water.All of you are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God. He is making the covenant with you today. He’s giving you his word.Today he wants to show you that you are his people and that he is your God. That’s what he promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.I’m making this covenant and the promise that goes along with it. I’m making this covenant with you.You are standing here with us today in front of the Lord our God. And I’m also making this covenant with those who aren’t here today.

If that happens, may God shake them out of their house! May he empty them of everything they own!” The whole community said,“ Amen.” They praised the Lord. And the leaders did what they had promised to do.
