conflict between the texts of scripture?
"But if you do evil, be afraid;
for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is
God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."
for he does not bear the sword in vain; for
he is God’s minister,
an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
What do you think the people in 1st century Rome thought Paul meant when he said does not bear the sword in vain, an avenger executing wrath on behalf of God?
