Now the whole earth had one
language and the same words. And
as people migrated from the east,
they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they
said to one another, “Come, let us
make bricks, and burn them
thoroughly.” And they had brick
for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
Then they said, “Come, let us
build ourselves a city and a tower
with its top in the heavens, and
let us make a name for ourselves,
lest we be dispersed over the face
of the whole earth.” And
the Lord came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children
of man had built. ...
(Genesis 11:1-8)
ESV
And what great nation is there,
that has statutes and rules so
righteous as all this law that I
set before you today?
(Deuteronomy 4:8)
ESV
In those days there was no king in
Israel. Everyone did what was
right in his own eyes.
(Judges 21:25)
ESV
They said, “Caesar's.” Then he
said to them, “Therefore render to
Caesar the things that are
Caesar's, and to God the things
that are God's.”
(Matthew 22:21)
ESV
Let every person be subject to the
governing authorities. For there
is no authority except from God,
and those that exist have been
instituted by God. Therefore
whoever resists the authorities
resists what God has appointed,
and those who resist will incur
judgment. For rulers are not a
terror to good conduct, but to
bad. Would you have no fear of the
one who is in authority? Then do
what is good, and you will receive
his approval, for he is God's
servant for your good. But if you
do wrong, be afraid, for he does
not bear the sword in vain. For he
is the servant of God, an avenger
who carries out God's wrath on the
wrongdoer. Therefore one must be
in subjection, not only to avoid
God's wrath but also for the sake
of conscience. ...
(Romans 13:1-7)
ESV
First
of all, then, I urge that
supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and thanksgivings
be made for all people, for kings
and all who are in high positions,
that we may lead a peaceful and
quiet life, godly and dignified in
every way.
(1 Timothy 2:1,2)
ESV
Remind them to be submissive to
rulers and authorities, to be
obedient, to be ready for every
good work,
(Titus 3:1)
