Romans 13:5

Wherefore you must needs be in subjection, not only because of fear, but also for conscience sake.

For it is an acceptable thing to God, if from a sense of duty to him, a man endures a wrong, even suffering unjustly.

"Hence I too endeavor to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men alway.

Remind them to be submissive to their rulers and authorities; let them be obedient, ready for every good work;

Keep on praying for me. I am persuaded that I have a clear conscience, and I desire in every way to live nobly.

Submit yourselves, for the Lord's sake, to every human authority; whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,

See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.
