Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God. So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God's command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do good and you will have its approval.
The goodness of the lord » Who to do good to
Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
