Romans 13:1–8

Let every asoul bbe subject unto the higher powers. For cthere is no power but of God: the powers that be are ||dordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth bthe power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves dddamnation. For rulers are not a terror to egood works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and fthou shalt have praise of the same: For he is gthe 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 gthe minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore hye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also ifor conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye ktribute also: for they are gGod’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. lRender therefore to all their dues: ktribute to whom tribute is due; mcustom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for nhe that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
