'Authority' in the Bible
Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority
just as Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led into sin, nor to be harmed].
Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;
To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen.
