'Rejects' in the Bible

The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."

The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,

Therefore, whoever rejects this instruction is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
