Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Remind them to submit to the governments, authorities, to obey the rule over them, to be ready unto every good work,

Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent,

Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
