Romans 13:1-7
<p class="default">Romans 13:1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.  <b>For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God</b> . 
- Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 
- For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 
  <b>4. For he is the minister of God to thee for good. </b>But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 
  <b>5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.</b> 
- For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 
  <b>7. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour</b> .
