That is a very loose interpretation.

Romans 13:4 - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

What version of the Bible do you use?

"Loose"? How else do you interpret that? Government bears the sword for God, to execute wrath upon the evildoer.
