HE BEARETH NOT THE SWORD IN VAIN
ROMANS 13:1-9
BE SUBJECT
UNTO
THE HIGHER POWERS.
FOR
THERE IS NO POWER
BUT
OF
GOD:
THE POWERS
THAT BE ARE
ORDAINED OF GOD.
WHOSOEVER THEREFORE RESISTETH
THE POWER,
RESISTETH
THE ORDINANCE OF GOD:
AND
THEY THAT RESIST
SHALL RECEIVE
TO
THEMSELVES
DAMNATION.

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.
