The Romans worshiped many false gods. Some of the Caesars wanted to be worshiped in the same way that people worshiped false gods. Therefore, the Roman leaders did not like for Jews and Christians to say that there is only one God or that Jesus is God and king. Some Roman leaders, like Nero and the later Caesars, persecuted Christians.
Paul taught that the Christians should obey the Roman leaders and show them honor so the Christians could live in peace (see: Romans 13:1, 5; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 2:13, 18; 5:5). However, they should not disobey God when they obey the Roman leaders (see: Acts 5:27-29).
