Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.

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.

Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,

Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except fromGod; and those that exist are set up byGod.
