King James Version
"Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation."
— Romans 13:2, King James Version
“Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. ”
“Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.”
“So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment”
“Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation.”
“For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.”
“Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
