What does the Bible say about obeying the government?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 13 teaches that Christians should be subject to governing authorities, as all authority is instituted by God.

Romans 13:1-7 asserts that every person should be subject to the governing authorities, as there is no authority that has not been established by God. This passage underscores that governing powers are appointed by God, and therefore resisting these authorities equates to resisting what God has ordained. Paul writes that rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad; hence, Christians are to obey laws that align with God's commands and recognize that, when they act according to God's principles, they do not need to fear the authority.
