5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also (A)for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 (B)Pay to all what is due them: (C)tax to whom tax is due; (D)custom to whom custom; [a]respect to whom [b]respect; honor to whom honor.

Romans 13:5-7
New International Version
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.(A)
6 This is also why you pay taxes,(B) for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;(C) if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
