Delegated to Human Governments
nRomans
13:1-7 (NIV) Everyone must submit himself to the
governing authorities, for there is no authority except
that which God has established. The authorities that exist
have been established by God. 2 Consequently,
he who rebels against the authority is rebelling
against what God has instituted, and those who do so will
bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no
terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
Do you want to be free from fear of the one in
authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For
he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong,
be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing.
He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment
on the wrongdoer.
