‘Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves…
Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good…
They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them…
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.’
– Wisdom from Paul – Romans 13:1-10
