ἐξουσία

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

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:

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

Have we not power to eat and to drink?

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
