Romans 13:5-7

5Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

6For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.

7Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
