Romans 13:1-7
Skip Heitzig
| Romans 13 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. |
| 2 | Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. |
| 3 | For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. |
| 4 | For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. |
| 5 | Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. |
| 6 | For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. |
| 7 | Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. |
