13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.
17 Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
Romans 13:1-7
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.
2 Consequently, the one who resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers are not a terror for those who do good works, but to those who do evil. Do you want to have no fear of the one in authority? do that which is good, and you shall have his praise:
4 For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is God's servant, an avenger to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Judges 21:25
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: but every man did what seemed him right.
