'Principalities' in the Bible

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it.

Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,
