  • Rom 13:1-7 : 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God. 2 Therefore, whoever resists authority is resisting what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval. 4 For the ruler is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God's servant, an avenger who carries out wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, continually attending to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs are due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.
