Romans 13:1-6
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment( for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation,for it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God’s servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing.

( 28:69) These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.Moses proclaimed to all Israel as follows:“ You have seen all that the LORD did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, all his servants, and his land.Your eyes have seen the great judgments, those signs and mighty wonders.But to this very day the LORD has not given you an understanding mind, perceptive eyes, or discerning ears!I have led you through the desert for forty years. Your clothing has not worn out nor have your sandals deteriorated.You have eaten no bread and drunk no wine or beer– all so that you might know that I am the LORD your God!When you came to this place King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan came out to make war and we defeated them.Then we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh.“ Therefore, keep the terms of this covenant and obey them so that you may be successful in everything you do.You are standing today, all of you, before the LORD your God– the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officials, every Israelite man,your infants, your wives, and the foreigners living in your encampment, those who chop wood and those who carry water–so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the LORD your God is making with you today.Today he will affirm that you are his people and that he is your God, just as he promised you and as he swore by oath to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath,but with whoever stands with us here today before the LORD our God as well as those not with us here today.
