Bible Question: I have to complete a report about certain ethical questions. Is there any reference in the Bible about turning a loved one over to law enforcement if they are wanted for a crime? If someone you know (spouse, brother, friend) committed a crime (or perhaps didn't) and they were wanted by law enforcement, are there any teachings about this? |
Bible Answer: This might help: Rom 13:1 10 duties of a citizen [1] subject to civil government [Tit 3:1;1 Pet 2:13-17 [2] Be afraid to disobey civil rulers [Rom 13:3; Pr 24:21 [3] do the good [Rom 13:4 Tit 3:1] [4]pay taxes Rom 13:1-7] [5] Render dues to all men [Rom 13:7] [6] Honor civil rulers Rom 13:1-7; Ex22:28; 1 Pet2:13-17] [7] Pray for civel rulers [1 Tim2:1-2] [8] Obey civel laws Rom 13:1-7;Ezra 7:26] [9] do not curse rulers Eccl 10:20] [10] Work for peace Rom 12:18] I hope this will be a start as to what to do. |
