Yes, that is true — but we can think as we read, right?

We should, and when Apostle Paul says all authority is from God and in God's service, that's what it means; we shouldn't invent authority that isn't.

But St. Paul also declares his assumptions: that the princes are not instruments of evil. In other words, so long as the secular government complies with the moral theology, it is legitimate. The implication for secular government being an instrument of evil is left to the reader.
