And the man who acts presumptuously to not heed the priest who is standing to serve there before Jehovah your God, or the judge, that man shall die. Thus you shall put away the evil from Israel.

And the people said to Samuel, Who is he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? Set forth the men, that we may put them to death.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples devise a vain thing?

Let us break and tear away their bonds, and cast away their cords from us.

Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His wrath.

But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace?

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

Only be strong and very courageous, that you may take heed to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant has commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.

Arise, for this matter is up to you. We also are with you. Be strong, and do it.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be like men, be strong.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
