羅馬書 13:1
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
在上有權柄的,人人當順服他,因為沒有權柄不是出於神的。凡掌權的都是神所命的。
以弗所書 6:5
- 6
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
你們作僕人的,要懼怕戰兢,用誠實的心聽從你們肉身的主人,好像聽從基督一般。
不要只在眼前事奉,像是討人喜歡的,要像基督的僕人,從心裡遵行神的旨意。
帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:13

Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
又因他們所做的工,用愛心格外尊重他們。你們也要彼此和睦。
我們又勸弟兄們,要警戒不守規矩的人,勉勵灰心的人,扶助軟弱的人,也要向眾人忍耐。
以弗所書 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
又當存敬畏基督的心,彼此順服。

Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened."
你們若是熱心行善,有誰害你們呢?
你們就是為義受苦,也是有福的。不要怕人的威嚇,也不要驚慌;(的威嚇:或作所怕的)
