Romans 13:3-4
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will have praise from him.
1 Corinthians 15:54
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."
2 Corinthians 5:4
For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
1 Timothy 2:2
for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.
