Previous Chapter Next Section

Türkçe

Tüm dünyanın yüce Rabbi ve Kralı olan Tanrı, kendi yüceliği ve toplumun iyiliği için insanların üzerinde sivil yönetimleri kendisine bağlı olarak görevlendirmiş. Bu amaçla Tanrı, sivil yönetimleri iyi olanları korumak ve cesaretlendirmek ve kötülük yapanları cezalandırmak amacıyla kılıcın gücüyle silahlandırmıştır.

English

God, the Supreme Lord and King of all the world, hath ordained civil magistrates to be under him, over the people, for his own glory and the public good, and to this end hath armed them with the power of the sword, for the defense and encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evil-doers.
