“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. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 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 praise of the same: For hi 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 that is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due: custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.” Rom. 13:1-7
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they ay do it with joy, and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you.” Heb. 13:17

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”1 Peter 2:13

1 Peter 2:13-25
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave =Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their won bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his won flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church; For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto this wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Eph. 5:22-33
“Submitting ourselves one to another in the fear of God.” Eph. 5:21

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Rev. 2:26
“Rebuke not an elder, but in treat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; the elder woman as mother; the younger as sisters, with all purity. Honor widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents; for that is good and acceptable before God.”1 Tim. 5:1-2
“I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”1 Tim. 2:1-2
“Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.” Heb. 5:8
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Cor. 11:3
