Due Respect

We need to be very careful that we give due respect to the leaders of our Church, our state, and our nation. It is against God’s command to speak falsely against them.

Two particular groups are singled out for judgment: those who live in unclean lust and those who hold authority in contempt.

Then Paul said, “I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”
Acts 23:5

10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, 
2 Peter 2:10

28 “You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people. 
Exodus 22:28

Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. 

Jude 8
