When Paul penned this, the ruling emperor was NERO, the BRUTAL anti-Christian maniac, the regime of which would eventually put Paul to death.
ROMANS 13 1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
That evil Roman empire would be transformed by the Power of God, and spread the Gospel to the four corners of the Earth.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27094217 The nice thing about the US is that the highest earthly power is our Constitution. No deference need be given to the "authorities" who violate it.
