The Witnesses faithfully obey the injunction of Romans 13: 1, 2: “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities [governmental rulers], for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.
म्हणून जो अधिकाराला आड येतो, तो देवाच्या व्यवस्थेस आड येतो; आणि आड येणारे आपणावर दंड ओढवून घेतील. ”
