Summary/Abstract: The Pauline pericope of Romans 13: 1-7, which regulates the relationship between civil and religious authority, has provoked various debates in the world of researchers as to its authenticity. Some Bible scholars (Walke, Barnikoll etc.) pass this biblical text as a pseudoepigraph. Their arguments are sorted according to ideational, contextual, linguistic, comparative and situational reasons. Following the intensification of their research based on these criteria, they came to the conclusion that the text is foreign to St. Paul’s vision and, therefore, he is not the author. In our research we have inventoried the patristic perspective related to the subject and made other new contributions to the text of the Epistle to Romans 13: 1-7, summarizing them in the form of an excursus - according to which we argue with probity that the author of this pericope is St. Apostle Paul.
