Titus 3

Jospeh Smith wrote in his Wentworth letter -

"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law." (Pearl of Great Price | Articles of Faith 1:12)

Much of the 134th section of the Doctrine and Covenants is a declaration of that belief in regard to the purpose of governments and related laws for beginning with -

"WE believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 134:1)

Paul teaches the same doctrine to Titus couseling the saints -

"PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work..." (New Testament | Titus 3:1)

Good works including -

"To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men." (New Testament | Titus 3:2)

Paul would probably provide the same counsel today in our present political climate.
