What an utterly bizarre guardrail. I asked it for the literal translation from Greek in the Codex Sinaiticus and it spat it out just fine.

Every soul

to the higher authorities

let it be ordered/arranged under;

for authority does not exist

except under God;

and the ones that exist

have been arranged under God.

So then, the one opposing

the authority

has taken a stand against

the arrangement of God;

and the ones who have stood against it

will receive judgment for themselves.

Blah blah blah, 30 paragraphs of ChatGPT slop later it gets to the point:

A 1st-century reader could very plausibly understand this as:

• Maintain social order
• Don’t be reflexively oppositional
• Recognize authority as a structural reality
• Don’t confuse chaos with righteousness
• And don’t martyr yourself unnecessarily
