# Connecting Statement:
Paul tells believers how to live under their rulers.
# Let every soul be subject to # Let every soul be subject to
Here "soul" is a synecdoche for the whole person. "Every Christian should obey" or "Everyone should obey" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]]) "Every Christian should obey" or "Everyone should obey"
# higher authorities # higher authorities
"government officials" "government officials". Some readers will find it difficult to understand what Paul teaches about obeying rulers, especially if they live where rulers persecute the church. Christians must obey, unless the rulers do not allow Christians to do something God explicitly commands them to do. There are times when a believer must submit to these rulers and suffer at their hands. Christians understand that this world is temporary and they will ultimately be with God forever.
