I counsel
Provérbios 24:21
My son, fear the LORD and the king: and associate not with them that are given to change:
Romanos 13:1-4
1
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.
2
Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment.
3
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
4
For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
Tito 3:1
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
1 Pedro 2:13-17
13
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
in regard
1 Reis 2:43
Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged you with?
1 Crônicas 29:24
And all the leaders, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
Ezequiel 17:13-20
13
And has taken the king’s descendant, and made a covenant with him, and has taken an oath from him: he has also taken the mighty of the land:
14
That the kingdom might be humble, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that does such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16
As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwells that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, by casting up siege mounds, and building walls, to cut off many persons:
18
Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and has done all these things, he shall not escape.
19
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will execute judgment on him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Romanos 13:5
Therefore you must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’s sake.
