Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities
that exist are appointed by God. - Romans 13:1
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and
all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. - 1 Timothy 2:1-2
