Overview: Submit to God’s Authority Paul says to submit to authority and pay taxes (1, 7, c.f. Eph. 5:24, Tit. 2:9) Authority bears a sword (2b, 3a, 4, c.f. 12:9) Authority is from God and under Christ (1b-2, 4, c.f. 12:9, Gen. 9:5-6) But, the sword is not our primary motive to submit (3b-4a, 5, 1 Peter 2:13, Ex. 22:28). Whose definition of good and evil are we using? (3-4, context) But, what about Nero? So, what do we do? (c.f. Acts 5:28-29)
