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.
All Commentaries on Romans 13:1 Go To Romans 13
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
For this cause pay ye tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.".
Paul the apostle also says upon this same subject: "Be ye subject to all the higher powers; for there is no power but of God: now those which are have been ordained of God."
