Romans:13:1-7
rwbs@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God. (note:)ordained: or, ordered(:note)
rwbs@Romans:13:2 @ Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves condemnation.
rwbs@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:
rwbs@Romans:13:4 @ For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to wrath upon him that doeth evil.
rwbs@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
rwbs@Romans:13:6 @ For for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
rwbs@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
