Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject unto the governing authorities.
For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist

For he [a government or court official] is God’s minister [“servant” or
“magistrate”] to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid;
for he does not bear the sword in vain; [for he is God’s minister],
an AVENGER TO EXECUTE WRATH on him who practices evil”

Ephesians 5:5 says: " "No whoremonger, no unclean person hath an inheritance in the Kingdom of
Christ and of God." And in Colossians 3:6, we are told that because fornication, uncleanness, and inordinate affection, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
