"15
¶ Moreover if thy
brother shall trespass against thee, go and
tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy
brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses every
word may be established. 17 And if he shall
neglect to hear them, tell it unto the
church: but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a
publican." (Matthew 18:15-17 KJV)
"1 ¶ 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.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that
resist shall receive to themselves
damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good
works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be
afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he
is the minister of God to thee for good. But if
thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he
beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to execute
wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore
ye must needs be subject, not only for
wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for
this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are
God’s ministers, attending continually
upon this very thing. 7
¶ Render therefore
to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute
is due; custom to whom custom; fear to
whom fear; honour to whom honour." (Romans
13:1-7 KJV)
"19 But
Peter and John answered and said unto them,
Whether it be right in the sight of God to
hearken unto you more than unto God, judge
ye. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we
have seen and heard." (Acts 4:19-20 KJV)
"Then Peter and the other apostles
answered and said, We ought to obey God rather
than men." (Acts 5:29 KJV)
"22 Servants, obey in all things your
masters according to the flesh; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness
of heart, fearing God: 23 And whatsoever ye
do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and
not unto men; 24
Knowing that of the Lord ye
shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ." (Colossians
3:22-24 KJV)
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all
men;" (1 Timothy 2:1 KJV)
"For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Saviour;" (1 Timothy 2:3 KJV)
"13 ¶ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man
for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the
king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors,
as unto them that are sent by him for the
punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of
them that do well." (1 Peter 2:13-14
KJV)
