Romans 13:6-8

New Matthew Bible

⁶ And also for this reason, pay tribute. For the Roman authorities are God’s ministers, serving for the same purpose.

⁷ Give to all persons therefore that which is due to them: tribute to whom tribute belongs, custom to whom custom is due, fear to whom fear belongs, honour to whom honour pertains. ⁸ Owe nothing to anyone, but to love one another. For he who loves another, fulfils the law.
