Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 13:1-14

Romans 13:1 . Let every soul be subject to the higher powers, of magistrates, governors, proconsuls, kings, and emperors.

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. Ver. 1. Let every soul be subject ] In things lawful only; for else we must answer as those apostles did, Acts 4:29 , and as Polycarp, who being commanded to blaspheme Christ, and to swear by the fortune of Caesar, peremptorily refused, and said, We are taught to give honour to princes and potentates, but such honour as is not contrary to God’s religion.
