¹ Let every soul be subject to the ruling powers; for there is no power but from God. The powers in being are arranged by God; ² so that he who setteth himself against the power resisteth the arrangement of God; and they who resist shall receive for themselves condemnation. ³ For the rulers are not a terror to good works but to evil. Dost thou then wish not to dread the power? Do that which is good and thou shall have praise from it. ⁴ For it is a minister of God for good to thee. But if thou dost evil, be in dread; for it wieldeth not the sword in vain. For it is a minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath on him who doth evil. ⁵ Therefore it is necessary to submit to government, not only on account of punishment, but also for conscience's sake. ⁶ Indeed on this account you pay taxes, because there are ministers of God continually employed for this very purpose. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute; custom to whom custom; reverence to whom reverence; honour to whom honour is due.
