| The Message (MSG) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
2 If you're irresponsible to the state, then you're irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible.
|
2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
