Romans 13:5-6

KJV

NIV

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.
