Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.(Romans 12:21)

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.(Romans 13:1)

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.(Romans 13:2)

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:

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.(Romans 13:4)

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.(Romans 13:5)

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.(Romans 13:6)
