Romans 13:6

⁴  For he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

⁵  Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

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

⁷  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

⁸  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
