Romans 13:4-5
4for it is a servantG1249 of GodG2316 to you for goodG18. But ifG1437 you doG4160 whatG2556 isG2556 evilG2556, beG5399 afraidG5399; for it does not bearG5409 the swordG3162 for nothingG1500; for it is a servantG1249 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 the sakeG1223 of conscienceG4893.
