| Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but of God, and those things that be of God, be ordained. | 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. |
