Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same. 4. 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 hi that doeth evil. 5. Wherefore ye must needs be. subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6.
