Romans 13:2-4

2WhosoeverG498 thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the authorityG3588G1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG3588G2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.

3ForG1063 rulersG3588G758 areG1510 notG3756 a terrorG5401 toG2041 goodG3588G18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG3588G2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraid ofG5399 the powerG3588G1849? doG4160 that which is goodG3588G18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:

4ForG1063 he isG1510 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4771 forG1519 goodG3588G18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG3588G2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3588G3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG1510 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 toG1519 execute wrathG3709 upon him that doethG3588G4238 evilG3588G2556.
