I would offer..
The pick of the cherries. No context needed?
First things first .Identify where and what kind of authority it is that we are to obey?
Looking at Mathew 16 Where Peter rebuked the Lord of lords and forbid the Son of man Jesus from do the will of the father The lord said to Peter get behind me you have in mind the things of dying mankind not eternal God . Not that kind of will. What do you think
Hebrew 13:6-7 So we take comfort
and are encouraged
and confidently
and boldly say, The
Lord is
my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can
man do to me? Remember your leaders
and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the
Word of God.
(sola scriptura) Observe attentively
and consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith ([
h]
their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their [
i]leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in
His power, wisdom, and goodness). . . . . . . Not the powerless Peter
First step get out of temples made with human hands as a will of dying mankind without the camp . . sends he out to by two as ambassadors from a foreign land not here a continuing city like Rome.
Hebrew 13:13-17 Let us go forth therefore unto
him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we
no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to
his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that have the rule as
it is written (sola scriptura)
Will you obey the living word ???
