If anyone steals, murders, libels, cheats on his taxes, rapes, defrauds, uses illegal drugs, or in any other way opposes lawful authority, he will face severe discipline from the congregation —and he should not feel persecuted when he is punished by the secular authority. —1 Corinthians 5:12, 13; 1 Peter 2:13-17, 20.
As enigiemand steel, moor, laster, met sy belasting kul, iemand verkrag, bedrog pleeg, dwelms gebruik of hom op enige ander manier teen die wettige owerheid versit, sal hy ernstige tug van die gemeente ontvang—en hy moet dit nie as vervolging beskou wanneer die sekulêre owerheid hom straf nie.—1 Korinthiërs 5:12, 13; 1 Petrus 2:13-17, 20.jw2019 jw2019
