Rom. 13:1‑6• 1Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.
 2So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
 3For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
 4for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.
 5Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
 6For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing. (Rom. 13:1‑6)
• A covenant supposes two parties: here, under the law, they engage themselves mutually, the Lord on the one side, the king and the people on the other. It is as if the king were answering for the people and the people for the king, as forming but one whole in relation to the Lord. But this engagement is rendered yet the more solemn by the covenant between the king and the people. They mutually engage themselves to follow the same path. (“Athaliah: 2 Kings 11” by H.L. Rossier)
• {v.17-18} Jehu’s zeal had not reestablished the covenant, though destroying Baal, and it goes no further than that. The ancient idolatry, Jeroboam’s calves, exists for him, whereas the new idolatry has been extirpated. It is always thus when the flesh has a part in reform. It cannot remedy that abandoning of God which has characterized it from the beginning. (“Athaliah: 2 Kings 11” by H.L. Rossier)
