I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
What a strong reminder that "Republic" is another word for "the commonwealth" that always really meant something for the impartial good and equal well being of everybody in the public concern with the peoples best balanced interest kept as a whole domain. Originally that commonwealth principle was taken by the people to be under the highest protection of the most powerful moral standard that can justify itself called God.
Amazing how "the common wealth" that is real was well described in the New Testament:

Ro 8:1 There is then no damnation to them which are in Christ Jesu, which walk not after the flesh: but after the spirit.
Ro 8:2 For the law of the spirit, wherein is{MT: that bringeth} life thorow Jesus Christ hath delivered me{MC: made me free} from the law of sin, and death.
Ro 8:3 For what the law could not do inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh: that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh:
Ro 8:4 that the righteousness required of the law, might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh: but after the spirit.
Ro 8:5 For they that are carnal, are carnally minded; and{MT: But} they that are spiritual are ghostly minded.
Ro 8:6 To be carnally minded is death; and{MT: But} to be spiritually minded is life, and peace:
Ro 8:7 because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to{MC: subdued unto} the law of God, neither can be.
Ro 8:8 So then they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God.
Ro 8:9 But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his.
Ro 8:10 If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin: But the spirit is life for righteousness' sake.
Ro 8:11 Wherefore if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from death, dwell in you: even he that raised up Christ from death, shall quicken your mortal bodies, be cause that his{MT: this} spirit dwelleth in you.
Ro 8:12 Therefore brethren we are now debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
Ro 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live,
Ro 8:14 for as many as are led by the spirit of God,{MT: |TI:they|Ti} are the sons of God.
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear any more, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba father.{MC: Abba, dear father}
Ro 8:16 The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God.
Ro 8:17 If we be sons, we are also heirs (the heirs I mean of God) and heirs annexed with Christ, if so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.
Ro 8:18 For I suppose that the afflictions of this life, are not worthy of the glory which shall be shewed upon us.
Ro 8:19 Also the fervent desire{MC: longing} of the creatures abideth looking when the sons of God shall appear
Ro 8:20 because the creatures are subdued to vanity against their will: but for his will which subdued{MT: subdueth} them in hope.
Ro 8:21 For the very creatures shall be delivered{MC: free} from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.{MC: children of God}
Ro 8:22 For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and travaileth in pain even unto this time.
Ro 8:23 Not they only, but even we also which have the first fruits of the spirit mourn{MC: groan} in ourselves and wait for the adoption (|TIof the children God|Ti) and look for the deliverance of our bodies.
Ro 8:24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth?
Ro 8:25 but and if we hope for that we see not, then do we with{MC: thorow} patience abide for it.
Ro 8:26 Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue.
Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the meaning{MC: mind} of the spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints according to the pleasure of God.
Ro 8:28 For we know well that all things work{MC: serve} for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.
Ro 8:29 For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren.
Ro 8:30 Moreover which he appointed{MC: ordained} before, them he also called; and which he called, them also he justified; which he justified,{MC: made righteous} them he also glorified.
Ro 8:31 What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?
Ro 8:32 which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?
Ro 8:33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's{MT: goddes} chosen? It is God that justifieth:{MC: maketh righteous}
Ro 8:34 who then shall condemn? it is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the right hand of God and maketh intercession for us.
Ro 8:35 Who shall separate us from God's love?{MT: the love of god} shall tribulation? or anguish? or persecution, other hunger? other nakedness? other peril? other sword?
Ro 8:36 As it is written: For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain.
Ro 8:37 Nevertheless in all these things we overcome strongly thorow his help that loved us.
Ro 8:38 Yea and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither angel,{MT: angels} nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come,
Ro 8:39 neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from God's love,{MT: the love of God} which is{MT: shewed} in Christ Jesu our Lord.

Yea repentance is needed not just for the letter of correction sake that condemns us all; and moreso indeed to be absolutely steadfast amended by the word of God who is Jesus Christ who paid the great price that could only justify us before God the holy judge.

¶ In that time Herod the king layed hands on certain of the congregation, to vex them. And he killed Iames the brother of Ihon with a sword: and because he saw that it pleased the jews, he proceeded further, to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread, and when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to iiij. quaternions of soldiers to be kept, intending after ester to bring him forth to the people. Then was Peter kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing of the congregation unto God for him. When Herod would have brought him out unto the people, the same night slept Peter between ij. soldiers, bound with two chains, And the keepers before the door kept the prison.
¶ And behold the angel of the Lord was there present, and a light shined in the lodge. And he smote Peter on the side, and stirred him up saying: arise up quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him: gird thyself and bind on thy sandals, And so he did. And he said unto him: cast on thy mantle about thee, and follow me. And he came out and followed him, and wist not, that it was truth which was done by the angel, but thought he had seen a vision. When they were past the first and the second watch, they came unto the iron gate, that leadeth unto the city, which opened to them by his own accord. And they went out and passed thorow one street, and by and by the angel departed from him.
¶ And when Peter was come to himself, he said: now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the waiting for of the people of the jewes. And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of one Ihon, which was called Mark also, where many were gathered together in prayer. As Peter knocked at the entry door, a damsel came forth to hearken, named Rhoda. And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the entry for gladness, but ran in and told how Peter stood before the entry. And they said unto her: thou art mad. And she bare them down that it was even so. Then said they: it is his angel. Peter continued knocking: When they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonied. He beckoned unto them with his hand to hold their peace, and told them by what means the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And said: go shew this unto Iames and to the brethren. And he departed and went into another place.
¶ As soon as it was day there was no little ado among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. When Herod had called for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded to depart. And he descended from Jewry to Cesarea, and there abode. Herod was displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. And they came all at once, and made intercession unto Blastus the king's chamberlain, and desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's land. Upon a day appointed, the king arrayed him in royal apparel, and set him in his seat, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying: It is the voice of a God and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the honour, and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
¶ The word of God grew and multiplied. ..

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given to us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of honest behavior. (soberness of mind with the right understanding)
1 John 4:18-21
18There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out all fear, for fear hath painfulness. He that feareth is not perfect in love. 19We love him, for he loved us first. 20If a man say, I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar. How can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? 21And this commandment have we of him: that he which loveth God, should love his brother also.

For neither fornicators (breakers of wedlock), neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither pillers(extortioners), shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Ro 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance (or punishment) only: but also because of conscience.
Romans 13:1-8
1Let every soul submit himself unto the authority of the higher powers. There is no power but of God. The powers that be, are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth power, resisteth the ordinance of God. They that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not to be feared for good works but for evil. Wilt thou be without fear of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praised of the same. 4For he is the minister of God, for thy wealth. But and if thou do evil, then fear: for he beareth not a sword for nought; for he is the minister of God, to take vengeance on them that do evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of conscience. 6 Even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are God's ministers, serving for the same purpose. 7Give to every man therefore his duty: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custom to whom custom is due: fear to whom fear belongeth: Honour to whom honour pertaineth. 8Owe no thing to any man: but to love one another.

For who can resist his will? 20But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? shall the work say to the workman: why hast thou made me on this fashion? 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, even of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22Even so, God willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation, 23that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory: 24that is to say, us which he called, not of the jews only, but also of the gentiles.

24No man can serve two masters. For either he shall hate the one, and love the other: or else he shall lean to the one, and despise that other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall wear. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not better than they? 27Which of you (though he took thought therefore) could put one cubit unto his stature? 28And why care ye then for raiment? Behold the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin. 29And yet for all that I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his royalty, was not arrayed like unto one of these. 30Wherefore if God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow shall be cast into the furnace: shall he not much more do the same unto you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought saying: what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? 32(After all these things seek the gentiles) For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But rather seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof, and all these things shall be ministered unto you. 34Care not therefore for the day following.

They set abroad their phylacteries, and make large borders on their garments, 6and love to sit uppermost at feasts, and to have the chief seats in the synagogues, 7and greetings in the markets and to be called of men Rabbi. 8But ye shall not suffer yourselves to be called Rabbi, for one is your master, that is to wit Christ, and all ye are brethren. 9And call ye no man your father upon the earth, for one is your father, and he is in heaven. 10Be not called masters, for one is your master, and he is Christ. 11He that is greatest among you, shall be your servant. 12But whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low.
