Christians Should Obey the Law

13 All of you must yield to the government rulers. No one rules unless God has given him the power to rule, and no one rules now without that power from God.

⁶ This is also why you pay taxes. Rulers are working for God and give their time to their work. ⁷ Pay everyone, then, what you owe. If you owe any kind of tax, pay it. Show respect and honor to them all.
