Romans 13:5-7

5Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.

6For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing.

7Pay everyone what is owed: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
