Romans 13:1-3

1EveryoneG3956G5590 must submit himselfG5293 to the governing authoritiesG1849G5242, forG1063 there isG1510 noG3756 authorityG1849 exceptG1487G3361 that which is from GodG2316. The authorities thatG3588 existG1510 have been appointedG5021 byG5259 GodG2316. 2ConsequentlyG5620, whoeverG3588 resistsG498 authorityG1849 is opposingG436 whatG3588 GodG2316 has set in placeG1296, andG1161 those whoG3588 do so will bringG2983 judgmentG2917 on themselvesG1438.

3ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1510 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 conductG2041, butG235 to badG2556. Do you wantG2309 to be unafraidG3361G5399 of theG3588 one in authorityG1849? Then doG4160 whatG3588 is rightG18, andG2532 you will haveG2192 hisG1537G846 approvalG1868.
