'Authority' in the Bible

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.
