13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

  4  And many shall be converted, insomuch that ye shall obtain power to organize yourselves ^caccording to the laws of man;

  6  And thus all things shall be made sure, ^aaccording to the laws of the land.

  21  Let no man break the laws of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the laws of the land.

  54  Have mercy, O Lord, upon all the nations of the earth; have mercy upon the rulers of our land; may those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the ^bConstitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.

  5  We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; and that all governments have a right to enact such laws as in their own judgments are best calculated to secure the public interest; at the same time, however, holding sacred the freedom of conscience.

  80  And for this purpose have I established the ^aConstitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.

  1  We believe that ^agovernments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society.
