(a) Paul admonishes everybody to subject themselves to the governing authorities, for God Himself permits all authorities. He asserts that those that exist are either authorized or permitted by God to operate. Therefore, anybody who resists the authorities is resisting God and will incure this judgement, for leaders are not appointed to be a terror to good conduct but to bad conduct. If any one is to avoid being afraid of authorities, he must do what is good and right, then he will receive approval from the authority for he is God's servant for His goal. However, if one does wrong, then one will be afraid, for the authority does not wield the sword in vain. He is the servant of God to execute God's wrath on the wrong doer. Therefore, every one must be subject to civil authority to avoid God's wrath. For the sake of conscience, they should pay respect to whom it is due and honour to whom honour is due.
