"And the man that will do
presumptuously, and
will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to

Supporting Verses:

Josh. 1:16-17
-
"And they answered Joshua,
saying, All that thou
commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest
us, we will go. According as we
hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken
unto thee: only YHVH thy God be with thee, as he was
with Moses."
-
Rom. 13:1-7
-
"Let
every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are
ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation. For rulers are
not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good,
and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the
minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that
which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword
in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye
must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute
also: for they are God's ministers, attending
continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to
all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom
to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom
honour."
-
Titus 3:1
-
"Put them in mind
to be subject to
principalities and powers, to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work,"
-
Heb. 13:17
-
"Obey
them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy, and not with
grief: for that is unprofitable for you."
-
1 Pet. 2:13-17
-
"Submit
yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto
governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
punishment of evildoers, and for the
praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God,
that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance
of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for
a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour
the king."
-
2 Pet. 2:10
-
"But chiefly them that walk
after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and
despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled,
they are not afraid
to speak evil of dignities."
