From Johann Gerhard’s Postilla (1613)
From Rev. Martin Luther’s
Church Postils
23. Although they did not deserve it of the Lord, yet He teaches them the right way. And with these words He also confirms the worldly sword or government. They had hoped He would condemn it and speak against it; He does not do it, however, but praises earthly government and commands to render unto it what is due to it. It is therefore His desire that there should be magistrates, princes and masters, whom we are to obey, be they what they may and what they list; neither should we ask whether they possess and exercise government and authority justly or unjustly. We should only pay heed to that power and authority which is good, for it is ordered and instituted by God, Rom. 13, 1: You are not allowed to upbraid the government, when at times you are oppressed by princes and tyrants, who abuse the power they have from God: some day they will surely have to answer for it. The abuse of a thing does not make it bad, if it was good in itself. A golden chain is good, and it is not made worse by being worn around a whore's neck; or if someone were to destroy one of my eyes with it, should I therefore blame the chain? Truly nay.
