Romans 13:3-7

3ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 fromG1537 the sameG846: 4ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doestG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, an avengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556. 5ThereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223. 6ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 ye payG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God’sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.

7RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due ; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
