Be subject to Civil Government
Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities,
for there is no authority except that which God has established. The
authorities that exist have been established by God.
Titus 3:1
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to
be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
1 Peter 2:13-17
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority
instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority,
14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who
do wrong and to commend those who do right.
15 For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence
the ignorant talk of foolish men.
16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a
cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
17 Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of
believers, fear God, and honor the king.
Be afraid to disobey civil rulers
Romans 13:3
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for
those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority?
Then do what is right and he will commend you.
Proverbs 24:21
Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with the
rebellious,
Do the good
Romans 13:4
For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong,
be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an
agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Titus 3:1
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to
be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,
