The Lectionary and the death penalty

The Lectionary text for last week and the Lectionary text for this week have a large gap of the first verses of Romans 13.

That section of Scripture skips the text which speaks of the government’s use of the sword as a messenger of God. These verses are a clearly support for the Death Penalty. I wonder why they are skipped in the Lectionary?

Is there a bias in the Lectionary against these kinds of passages?
