Romans 13:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 Therefore [a]whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For (A)rulers are not a cause of fear for [b]good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a servant of God, an (B)avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
