But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God's servant, an avenger who carries out wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, continually attending to this very thing.
