ગુજરાતીરોમનોને પત્ર ૧૩:૨
એથી અધિકારીની સામે જે થાય છે તે ઈશ્વરના ઠરાવ વિરુદ્ધ થાય છે અને જેઓ વિરુદ્ધ થાય છે તેઓ પોતાના પર શિક્ષા વહોરી લેશે.
हिन्दीरोमियों १३:२
इसलिए जो कोई अधिकार का विरोध करता है, वह परमेश्वर की विधि का विरोध करता है, और विरोध करनेवाले दण्ड पाएँगे।

In context

1Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

2Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

3For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,

4for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
