Romans 13:5

---

← Romans 13:4	Romans 13:5 (KJV)	Romans 13:6 →
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.	Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.	For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
