NA25 had a question mark and a note that Westcott preferred a comma. NA26 or
(N27) changed to follow Westcott, but why they did so is not clear to me. It
reads as a question. The function of the rhetorical question is equivalent to a
conditional clause (If you want not to fear the authority, then do the good
thing.)

The second part of this verse is punctuated as a statement. Is it more likely to
be a statement or a question?
