Romans 13:1-3 says, "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you."

Which commandment tells us to obey those in authority?
There is no commandment that specifies respecting those in authority, but commandment number 5 talks about obeying your parents which have authority over you. It does mention in the new testament that you should follow the laws of the land. Jesus also says to give Cesar what belongs to Cesar talking about paying taxes. The Bible also mentions on multiple occasions that we should listen to elders or those in authority. There are more laws than just the 10 commandments. If you compare the laws of the Bible to the laws of the land, most of them are similar. For instance, murder is illegal and it is also against the Bible.

In what way was Martin Luther the German priest wrong in his teachings?
Christianity was not originally a Bible-based religion. It focused on Christ, and His teachings were sometimes at odds with those found in the Old Testament. The Bible - before the Reformation - was but one of the Church's traditional sources of authority for Christians. The others were sacred tradition (including oral traditions) and custom. Jesus, and later the first Christians, didn't have Bibles, yet the Church existed. By making the Bible preeminent, Luther focused on authority found in the written word, to the exclusion of the authority found in the institutional church - the same church which initially gathered Biblical books together and authorized them AS the Bible in the first place.

The Bible is an incredibly difficult book to read in full from cover to cover, and few probably ever try to. On the other hand, most people who own a Bible have probably read at least some of it. Many probably know a few favourite passages that they read from time to time when they need spiritual renewal.
