Page 19 - Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 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 him that doeth evil.
