Commentary
Romans 13 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of submitting to the governing authorities. Paul begins by reminding the readers that all authority is established by God and that those in authority are appointed by Him. He then goes on to explain that those in authority are to be respected and obeyed, as they are God’s servants, carrying out His will. Paul also warns against any kind of rebellion or disobedience, as it is a sin against God.
