We must accept the authority even when we deem the individual unworthy.

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil."
"For he is God’s minister to you for good."

If you do good but are punished he has NO authority and there is no authority to "accept"

How can you accept something which does not exist? They derive their authority from God ONLY, and if they don't do good, then they are not of God and hence hold zero authority.

Authority under the law.

Read Acts 16 where Paul resist the "authorities"

Gods authorities have 4 "restrictions" that they must follow in order to be required to be obeyed by christians.

You are repeatedly missing the point.

If you do good but are punished he has NO authority and there is no authority to "accept"

Who determines if your actions are good or evil? People disagree on this every day. In a traditional context, the legitimate judge is the divinely appointed sovereign, not the individual who presumes to cast judgement onto the sovereign as being in conformity or not in conformity with "God's law". When every man thinks that he has the right to casually judge and reject authority for himself, authority is completely dissolved. This is why loyalty to the sovereign has always been the moral core of traditional society. Obviously, we no longer live in traditional societies, but if we are discussing principles then we should discuss them properly.

What gave Paul the right to judge and resist the so-called "authorities"?

How do you suppose Paul would have reacted if someone questioned him and his authority, and rejected his claim to represent God and distinguish good from evil?
