King James Version Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
English “be subject unto” emboldened in Romans 13:1 was translated from Greek verb 5293 hupotasso from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case, as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject and Greek verb 5021 tasso which means for God to place chosen human beings where and when God wants them pursuant to bringing God’s will to fruition. Greek verb 5021 tasso was reasonably translated into English “ordained” in Romans 13:1. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” “sons” and future “priests” and “ministers” of God are God’s exclusive grammatical objects during this earth age. The other eight billion human beings are grammatical objects of a plethora of human social networks including the world’s 4,351 religions.
English “the higher” emboldened in Romans 13:1 was translated from Greek verb 5242 huperecho from a compound of Greek preposition 5228 huper meaning over in the genitive case, as a grammatical subject is over their grammatical objects and Greek verb 2192 echo which best reflects God’s perspective where it was translated into English “have” and “need” in 1John 2:20 and 1John 2:27 respectively “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things” “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him”. I do not want 1John 2:15-29 to interfere with God’s Romans 13:1 original Greek message but 1John 2:15-29 mistranslations deserve more attention so we will examine it in more detail at the end of uncovering God’s Romans 13 truth.
English “powers” “power” and “the powers” emboldened in Romans 13:1&2 were translated from Greek feminine noun 1849 exousia which is the combination of the physical and mental fortitude required to bring God’s will to fruition. God is seeking human beings with some of the same traits as a pit bull to which God can add his own Greek feminine noun 1411 dunamis to create human beings who are capable of bringing God’s will to fruition while also winning the wars of Luke 14:31 2Corinthians 10:3 Revelation 13:4 Revelation 17:14 Revelation 19:11 and Revelation 19:19. Pit bulls fight and win well above their weight class commensurate with their love of their master.
English “of” emboldened in Romans 13:1 was translated from Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case, as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject. God said “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace”. The world’s population is approaching 8 billion but God is reserving only “seven thousand” “election” to himself during this earth age as documented in Romans 11:4-7.
