1 Let every soul be placed under the protecting powers. For there is no power except from God: and the powers being, were ordered by God. 2 So he opposing the power, has resisted the arrangement of God: and they having resisted shall receive to themselves judgment. 3 For rulers are not the terror of good works, but of evil. And wilt thou not fear the power do good, and thou shalt have approbation of it: 4 For he is servant of God to thee for good. And if thou do evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword without order: for he is servant of God, avenging for anger to him doing evil. 5 Wherefore necessity to be placed under, not only for anger, but also for consciousness. 6 For this also pay ye taxes: for they are workmen of God, persevering in this same. 7 Therefore restore debts to all; to whom tribute, tribute; to whom recompense, recompense; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.
