圣经Everyone should submit to those who have authority in the upper echelons. Because having no authority is not from God. All those in power are commanded by God.
So those who resist power are those who resist the will of God. Those who resist must take their own punishment
Being an official is not called fear for those who do good, but fear for those who do evil. Are you willing not to fear those in power? If you do good deeds, you will receive his praise.
Because he is God’s servant and beneficial to you. If you do evil, then be afraid. Because he is not an empty sword. He is the servant of God, the one who seeks justice and punishes those who do evil.
So you must obey, not only because of punishment, but also because of conscience.
You receive food for this reason. Because they are God’s servants, they often have special control over this matter.
Give to mortals what they deserve. Those who receive food should receive it. Those who deserve taxes should be taxed. When afraid, fear him. When respectful, respect him.
Do not owe anyone anything, but love each other and always feel guilty. Because the one who loves is completely in compliance with the law.
Like the commandments that do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not be greedy, or have any other commandments, all of which are enclosed in the one sentence, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”.
Love does not harm others, so love is complete with the law.
Moreover, you know that now is the time to wake up early, because we are saved, and now is even closer than the time of the first faith.
The night is deep, and the day is approaching. We should take off our dark deeds and put on the weapons of light.
Act in a proper manner, as if walking in the daytime. Do not indulge in banquets and get drunk. Do not be lascivious or promiscuous. Do not compete or be jealous.
Always put on the Lord Jesus Christ, do not arrange for the body to indulge in personal desires.
