Then they answered Joshua,“ Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

And they answered Joshua,“ All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

They answered Joshua,“ We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us.

They answered Joshua,“ Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.

They answered Joshua, saying,“ All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

So they answered Joshua, saying,“ All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go.

They answered Joshua,“ Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

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.

The people of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses. They said,“ We will do just as you command.

Follow the lead of every human authority. Do this for the Lord’s sake. Obey the emperor. He is the highest authority.Obey the governors. The emperor sends them to punish those who do wrong. He also sends them to praise those who do right.By doing good you will put a stop to the talk of foolish people. They don’t know what they are saying.

Go near and listen to everything the Lord our God says. Then tell us what he tells you. We will listen and obey.”

Remind God’s people to obey rulers and authorities. Remind them to be ready to do what is good.
