Romans 13
5 Ref So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.
6 Ref For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.
7 Ref Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.
