He is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid for he does not bear the sword in vain. He is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil. You must be in subjection, not only because of that wrath, but also for the sake of your conscience.

Give custom to whom custom is owed. Render fear to whom fear is owed and offer honor to whom honor is deserved.
