Romans 13:6

Obedience To The Governing Authorities

⁵ Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of conscience. ⁶ And even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are God's ministers, serving for the same purpose. ⁷ Give to every man therefore his duty: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custom to whom custom is due: fear to whom fear belongeth: Honour to whom honour pertaineth.
