punishers

And when the day of reckoning shall draw nigh, and vengeance shall arise at the hand of the kings who are partakers of their evil deeds, and punishers of them,

Be subject to all royal power and dominion in things which are pleasing to God, as to the ministers of God, and the punishers of the ungodly. Render all the fear that is due to them, all offerings, all customs, all honour, gifts, and taxes. For this is God's command, that you owe nothing to any one but the pledge of love, which God has commanded by Christ.
