Romans 13:6

Obedience To The Governing Authorities

⁵ Therefore you must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience's sake. ⁶ For, for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
