Respect what God has established

        Romans 13:1.  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 
      
      
        <b>For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God</b>
      
      
        .
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they 
        that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  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:
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>4.  For he is the minister of God to thee for good. </b>
      
      
        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.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending 
        continually upon this very thing.
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom 
        custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
