Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bearethnot the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
English “revenger” emboldened in Romans 13:4 was mistranslated from Greek adjective 1558 ekdikos describing and qualifying those human beings who are right per God’s definition of right. Greek adjective 1558 ekdikos is from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting the origin from whence something came, in this context being God and Greek feminine noun 1349 dike being right per God’s definition of right. There is one God but there are 4,351 world religions predicated upon 4,351 different definitions of right but every definition of right other than God’s are at best irrelevant and are more likely disloyal and unfaithful to God. The “minister of God” are God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” “sons” and future “priests” of God who are the antithesis of the ministers of this world’s 4,351 religions.
