Rom. 13:1‑6• ¹Let every soul be subject to authorities above [it]. For there is no authority unless from God; and those that are have been ordained by God.
²So that he that setteth himself against the authority withstandeth the ordinance of God; and those that withstand shall receive judgment for themselves.
³For the rulers are no terror for the good work but for the evil. And dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? Practice good and thou shalt have praise for it;
⁴for it is God's servant to thee for good. But if thou Practice evil, be afraid; for not in vain doth it wear the sword; for God's servant it is, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.
⁵Wherefore [there is] a necessity 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, ever attending unto 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)
