Romans 13:4-5
4for it is a ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to you for goodG18. But ifG1437 you doG4160 whatG2556 is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; for it does not bearG5409 the swordG3162 for nothingG1500; for it is a ministerG1249 of GodG2316, an 1avengerG1558 who brings wrathG3709 on the one who practicesG4238 evilG2556.
5ThereforeG1352 it is necessaryG318 to be in subjectionG5293, not onlyG3440 becauseG1223 of wrathG3709, but alsoG2532 2for conscience’G4893 sakeG1223.
