Let every soul submit himself unto 1the authority of the higher powers. 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. They that resist, shall receive to themselves 2damnation. For rulers are not to be feared for good works, but for evil. Wilt thou be without fear of the power? Do well then, and so shalt thou be praised of the same. For he is the minister of God, for thy wealth. But and if thou do evil, then fear. For he beareth not a sword for nought. For he is the minister of god, to take vengeance on them that do evil. Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of conscience. Even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are Gods ministers serving for the same purpose.
