Verse 2
Refusal to submit to one’s government is tantamount to refusing to submit to God. Those who resist God’s ordained authority can expect to suffer condemnation by the government. This is really the indirect judgment of God (cf. Matthew 26:52).
"Capital punishment was ordained in Genesis 9:5-6, and it has not been abolished [by God]." [Note: Wiersbe, 1:557. See Newell, pp. 497-98, for a brief excursus on capital punishment.]
