³ · ho For gar rulers archōn are eimi not ou a source of fear phobos for those ho who do ergon good agathos, but alla for those ho who do wrong kakos. Would thelō you · de have no mē fear phobeomai of the ho one in authority exousia? Then do poieō what ho is right agathos and kai you will receive echō approval epainos from ek him autos, ⁴ for gar he is eimi a servant diakonos of God theos for eis your sy · ho good agathos. But de if ean you do poieō what ho is wrong kakos, be afraid phobeomai; for gar he does phoreō not ou bear phoreō the ho sword machaira in vain eikē. For gar he is eimi a servant diakonos of God theos, an avenger ekdikos to carry out eis wrath orgē on the ho one who does prassō · ho wrong kakos. ⁵ Therefore dio one must anankē be subject hypotassō, not ou only monon because dia of · ho wrath orgē, but alla also kai because dia of · ho conscience syneidēsis.
