• B.When an authority is obviously anti-Christ, it has no claim to legitimacy
• C.All authorities, aimed at good governance and order, this is in accordance with God’s plan
• D.All authorities, like God, reward goodness and punish wrong-doings
• E.Paul believes that legitimate authorities are sanctioned by God
