SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED—POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RELATIONS—MOTIVES. (Romans 13:1-14)
Let every soul—every man of you
be subject unto the higher powers—or, "submit himself to the authorities that are above him."
For there is no power—"no authority"
but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God—"have been ordained of God."
