Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.
