Romans 13:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.

⁷ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.

⁸ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.
