1. Formal Translation Each person must submit to the governing authorities, because no authority exists unless it is from God {Theos, Supreme Ordainer}; and the authorities that are present have been appointed by God. |
1. Dynamic Translation Everyone should place themselves under the oversight of higher authorities, since no authority stands on its own; it comes from God {Theos, Authority Giver}, and the authorities now operating have been put in place by God. |
