Law and legal ordinance, as resting on force only, on actual power and its exercise, have no moral value. Nev- ertheless Jesus did not command men not to sub- ject themselves to these authorities; they were to rate them according to their value, that is, accord- ing to their non-value, and they were to arrange their own lives on other principles, namely, on the opposite ; they were not to use force, but to serve.
