On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

First, That the Christian religion is no enemy to civil government, but a friend to it. Christ's kingdom doth not clash or interfere with the kingdoms of the earth, in any thing that pertains to their jurisdiction. Secondly, It is the duty of subjects to render to magistrates that which, according to the laws of their country, is their due.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, It is common for those that oppose one another, to continue in an opposition to Christ and his kingdom. Samson's foxes looked several ways, but met in one firebrand. If they are unanimous in opposing, should not we be so in maintaining, the interests of the gospel?
