It is good to reflect on these principles at this time:
From Jn Stott commentary on romans:
Romans 13:1-7  Our relationship to the state: conscience citizenship.

     In Romans 12 Paul has developed our four basic Christian relationships, namely to God (1-2), to ourselves (3-8), to one another (9-16) and to our enemies (17-21). In Romans 13 he develops three more - to the state (conscientious citizenship, 1-7), to the law (neighbour-love as its fulfilment, 8-10), and to the day of the Lord’s return (living in the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet’, (11-14).
(I will post more on this later)
