'Reason' in the Bible

For the Scripture tells Pharaoh:I raised you up for this reasonso that I may display My power in youand that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.

And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks.

Therefore I have reason to boast in Christ Jesus regarding what pertains to God.
