He did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

who are Israelites; to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

For because of this you also pay taxes. For they are God's servants, always giving attention to this very thing.
