Hebrew 13:17

Respect those whom God, who controls all things in heaven and in earth, has put in places of power. If they can do their work without undue strife we all benefit. They will answer to God!


Leaders would give an account of their service at the judgment seat of Christ.

13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
