فَإِنَّ الْحُكَّامَ لَيْسُوا خَوْفًا لِلأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ بَلْ لِلشِّرِّيرَةِ. أَفَتُرِيدُ أَنْ لاَ تَخَافَ السُّلْطَانَ؟ افْعَلِ الصَّلاَحَ فَيَكُونَ لَكَ مَدْحٌ مِنْهُ،

For rulers are not a terror to good works--"to the good work," as the true reading appears to be but to the evil.
افتح المصدر ↗There are three good lessons taught us in this chapter, where the apostle enlarges more upon his precepts than he had done in the foregoing chapter, finding them more needful to be fully pressed. I. A lesson of subjection to lawful authority (Rom 13:1-6). II. A lesson of justice and love to our brethren (Rom 13:7-10). III. A lesson of sobriety and godliness in ourselves (Rom 13:11 to the end).
افتح المصدر ↗13:3 the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right: Paul presents a positive picture of the governing authorities, describing them in terms of what God has appointed them to do. He does not touch on situations where leaders punish those who do good and reward those who do evil, although he was certainly aware of such situations from Old Testament and Jewish history, from the experience of Jesus and the other apostles, and from Greco-Roman affairs. Here, Paul confines himself to discussing the appropriate response to governing authorities who live according to their calling.

رُعْبُ الْمَلِكِ كَزَمْجَرَةِ الأَسَدِ. الَّذِي يُغِيظُهُ يُخْطِئُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ.
رِضْوَانُ الْمَلِكِ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ الْفَطِنِ، وَسَخَطُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى الْمُخْزِي.
«إِذَا كَانَتْ خُصُومَةٌ بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ وَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ لِيَقْضِيَ الْقُضَاةُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَلْيُبَرِّرُوا الْبَارَّ وَيَحْكُمُوا عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِ.
لأَنَّهُ خَادِمُ اللهِ لِلصَّلاَحِ! وَلكِنْ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ الشَّرَّ فَخَفْ، لأَنَّهُ لاَ يَحْمِلُ السَّيْفَ عَبَثًا، إِذْ هُوَ خَادِمُ اللهِ، مُنْتَقِمٌ لِلْغَضَبِ مِنَ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ الشَّرَّ.
