Romans 13:5, Be Subject to Civil Authority
The Apostle Paul teaches the believers to submit to the rule of government in the city that they reside in. If they break the law, be willing to go through the due process of law. If found guilty, be willing to face the judgment of the law for whatever wrongdoing. The judgment of the law against committed crime serves as a deterrent for believers. They are to fear to transgress the law. It would be a setback to their Christian testimony in the sight of the world.
