Romans 13
1 Let every person be subject to the
governing authorities. For there is no
authority except from God, and those that
exist have been instituted by God.2 Therefore
whoever resists the authorities resists what
God has appointed, and those who resist will
incur judgment.

Romans 13
3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct,
but to bad. Would you have no fear of the
one who is in authority? Then do what is
good, and you will receive his approval,

Romans 13
4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if
you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not
bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant
of God, an avenger who carries out God's
wrath on the wrongdoer.

Romans 13
5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not
only to avoid God's wrath but also for the
sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you
also pay taxes, for the authorities are
ministers of God, attending to this very
thing.

Romans 13
7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to
whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom
revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is
owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
