Rom Římanům, kapitola List Římanům, kapitola 13

Komu čest, tomu čest

je přece Božím služebníkem pro tvé dobro. Pácháš-li však zlo, boj se! Vláda netřímá meč nadarmo; je přece Božím služebníkem, jenž po zásluze trestá pachatele zla.

Římanům 13:4 v různých překladech

Čeština

BKR Boží zajisté služebník jest, tobě k dobrému. Pakli bys zle činil, boj se; neboť ne nadarmo nese meč. Boží zajisté služebník jest, mstitel zuřivý nad tím, kdož zle činí.

SNC Jejím úkolem od Boha je sloužit občanům k dobru. Kdo ovšem páchá zlo, má se proč bát; ne nadarmo má vláda také meč. I to je jejím posláním od Boha, aby trestala zlo.
