2:13Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
2:13Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
2:13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
