1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

1 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.

1 Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.

5 So you must yield to the government, not only because you might be punished, but because you know it is right.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

5 Therefore, it is necessary for you to obey, not only because you’re afraid of God’s anger but also because of your own conscience. 

5 Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience.

5 Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

5 You must obey the authorities. Then you will not be punished. You must also obey them because you know it is right.

5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
