Romans 13:2-4

2ThereforeG5620 he that resisteth the powerG1849, withstandeth the ordinance of GodG2316: and they that withstand shall receiveG2983 to themselves judgmentG2917.

3For rulersG758 areG1510 not a terror to the goodG18 workG2041, but to the evilG2556. And wouldest thou have no fearG5401 of the powerG1849? do that which isG1510 goodG18, and thou shalt have praiseG1868 from the sameG846:

4for he isG1510 a ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to thee for goodG18. But if thou do that which isG1510 evilG2556, beG1510 afraidG5399; for he beareth not the swordG3162 in vainG1500: for he isG1510 a ministerG1249 of GodG2316, an avenger for wrathG3709 to him that doeth evilG2556.
