If a ruler pays attention to falsehood, All his ministers become wicked. Dishonesty and falsehood corrupts others so that the entire government becomes less reliable. Our first allegiance is to God. We are to worship only God and to be absolutely submissive to Him. We are to be secondarily submissive to human institutions and authorities.
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities.
For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil. Live as bond-slaves of God. Christians are to have a submissive spirit toward authority.
