Romans 13:1, 7

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Ephesians 5:21-22, 24

21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Ephesians 6:1, 4-5, 9

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

1 Peter 2:17

17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
