Romans 13:6

Obedience To The Governing Authorities

⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, - not only because of the anger, but also because of the conscience; ⁶ For, because of this, are ye paying tribute also, - for, God's ministers of state, they are, unto this very thing, giving constant attendance. ⁷ Render unto all their dues, - unto whom tribute, tribute, unto whom tax, tax, unto whom fear, fear, unto whom honour, honour.
