Similarly, the apostle Paul directed: “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. ” ​ — Romans 13: 1; Titus 3: 1.
Samuti juhendas apostel Paulus: „Iga hing olgu allaheitlik valitsemas olevaile ülemustele; sest ülemust ei ole muud kui Jumalalt; kus neid on, seal on nad Jumala poolt seatud ”.
