The same Jesus who tells His disciples to individually love those who persecute us, return good for evil, turn the other cheek and forgive …

Also says, through Romans 13:3-7, that government officials bear the sword as “God’s ministers” to stop evildoers, protect the innocent and insure our common good.

It’s really not that complicated:

Let’s obey all that Christ says by sacrificially loving evildoers who harm us …

While also loving others enough to insist that government stop those same evildoers from harming anyone else.
