Titus 3:1
Douay-Rheims
Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.
Tertullian
Therefore, as to what relates to the honours due to kings or emperors, we have a prescript sufficient, that it behoves us to be in all obedience, according to the apostle's precept, "subject to magistrates, and princes, and powers; " but within the limits of discipline, so long as we keep ourselves separate from idolatry.
