State has right of capital punishmentRomans 13:1-7 NIV Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
![Page 32: 110828 the big ten 07 the right to life](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062708/5588e29ad8b42a5c6b8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
State has right of capital punishmentDo you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
![Page 33: 110828 the big ten 07 the right to life](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062708/5588e29ad8b42a5c6b8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
State has right of capital punishmentThis is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Jesus’ application of this commandMatthew 5:21-22 NIV You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'
