Thematic Bible
Magistrates » Are ministers of God
for it is God's servant to you for what [is] good. But if you do what [is] bad, be afraid, because it does not bear the sword to no purpose. For it is God's servant, the one who avenges for punishment on the one who does [what is] bad.
For because of this you also pay taxes, for [the authorities] are servants of God, busily engaged in this very [thing].
