Romans 13:5-7 Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. ⁶ For on account of this you also pay taxes, for they are ministers of God, always giving attention to this very thing. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
