Hello, Hive account@msmith, and thanks for your visit here.

I evidently could have been clearer, because in this instance, "governing" is "flat out wrong," as you put it, and wholly misleading. Furthermore, I believe it to be an intentional corruption of the text.

About which I intend to write follow-up articles that will further explore Romans 13. When I do, I will try to "string them together" so that you and others might gain a better understanding of my perspective.

And, in retrospect, I'm finding it very difficult to grasp how you could have missed that in my article? Your further comments about my lack of clarity here would be most appreciated... ;)
