Romans 13:6

New International Version

⁶This is also why you pay taxes,^(A) for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

Romans 13:6

King James Version

⁶For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁷Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;^(A) if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

⁷Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

New International Version (NIV)
