Romans 13:3
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldest thou then not be afraid of the civil power? do what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it:
1 Peter 2:14
or to governors as persons sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and the praise of them that do well.
