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.

5Wherefore ye must needs be in subjectionG5293, not onlyG3440 because of the wrathG3709, but alsoG2532 for conscience’G4893 sakeG1223.
