It is like the tension between the 4th and 5th commandments. The 4th tells us to honor authorities and the 5th not to kill.

The author misunderstands the original text
The Greek is very clear and the Hebrew is very clear :
It does not say KILL, it says MURDER.
We are prohibited from committing MURDER.
There is no tension between the 4th and the 5th commandment; G-d wrote both.
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the
Thessalonians, for they received the message with great
eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if
what Paul said was true.
