2Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
2Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath on him that does evil.
13:2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
13:2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
13:2Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.
13:2Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.
13:2So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
13:2Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.
13:2Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
13:2Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
13:2so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.
