When Romans 13:9 quotes the Old Testament, it uses a unique Greek word, PHOVEUS, which means "to murder" and not "kill." God made it clear the death penalty is required when a person takes the life of another intentionally out of anger, hatred and craftily. That is murder!   Conclusion: Capital punishment is obedience to God! To do otherwise is disobedience to Him. This is not anger, malice, or hated. It is obedience to God's original command found in Genesis 9:6.       < Back
