Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whosoever therefore{G5620} resisteth{G498}{(G5734)} the power{G1849}, resisteth{G436}{(G5758)} the ordinance{G1296} of God{G2316}: and{G1161} they that resist{G436}{(G5761)} shall receive{G2983}{(G5695)} to themselves{G1438} damnation{G2917}.
KJV with Strongs
(2) So then whoever resists authority opposes the direction of The אֱלֹהִים Elohim-God and those who oppose will receive to them condemnation.
The F.O.G
[2] Therefore, whoever rebels against legitimate authority is actually opposing God's arrangement, and those who do so bring judgment upon themselves.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God’s ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.
