That bad behavior will be punished and that good behavior will be rewarded is what Creon promises to the people in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon announces that he does not want a repeat performance of the bloody first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He feels that punishments for bad behavior and rewards for good will motivate Thebans to behave in ways most conducive to the security of society and the stability of Creon's government. Bad behavior is what is in opposition to him and his rule whereas good behavior is whatever obeys and supports Creon.
