'Authorities' in the Bible

But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;

Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies.

because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.

Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,

who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being subjected to him.
