The actual context btw can be seen when reading Romans 12, you know the section right before 13 where Paul is talking about Christians not taking vengeance into their own hands when wronged or crimes are committed against them, because they are in the right and they are to let the authorities handle these legal matters about justice. Romans clearly says its about governing authorities being used by God to bring vengeance to wrong doers It's not about doing what ever the state says to do.

But we're just gonna skip Verse 2? Okay...?

Nope. I'm gonna look at it in context verse three which clarifies that its about bringing justice to wrong doers. Still talking about not seeking personal vengeance not prescribing unlimited unquestioned obedience to the state. No matter how much you would like it to. Proof is Paul's own application of it. While in Damascus Paul was in trouble for preaching the Gospel. The Governor attempted to arrest him, did he just give himself up? Nope he was lowered in a basket out of a window in the cities wall. Why is this okay? Because his call for arrest was for unjust and he had committed no crime. You can cherry pick and quote mine all you want, and maybe you might convince some poor sap who doesn't know a thing about hermeneutics but thats your target audience the uniformed and glib.
