Romans 13:1 in the King James Version
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.
Context
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
