since the verse is not referring to punishment for law breaking.
Paul is quoting Deuteronomy, which is in the Torah. Also included in the Torah are lists of penalties for law breaking, including the death penalty, for further information see the book of Leviticus.
My favorite for picking verses of the bible (void of context) to prove a point are..."Judas went and hanged himself" "Go thou and od likewise" and "whatsoever thou doest, doest it quicklly" ...see how much fun it can be? :D
