Romans 13:6 ASV

⁴  for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

⁵  Wherefore 'ye' must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

⁶  For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁷  Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute 'is due'; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

⁸  Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.
