akjv - Romans:13:1-7

akjv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

akjv@Romans:13:2 @ Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

akjv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:

akjv@Romans:13:4 @ For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath on him that does evil.

akjv@Romans:13:5 @ Why you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

akjv@Romans:13:6 @ For for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God' ministers, attending continually on this very thing.

akjv@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
