Romans 13:5-7

5Therefore one must be subject [to civil authorities], not only to escape the punishment [that comes with wrongdoing], but also as a matter of principle [knowing what is right before God].

6For this same reason you pay taxes, for civil authorities are God’s servants, devoting themselves to governance.

7Pay to all what is due: tax to whom tax is due, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, honor to whom honor.
