King James Version with Apocrypha
"For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing."
— Romans 13:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.”
“For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. ”
“For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God's service, attending continually on this very thing.”
“For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing.”
“For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.”
“For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.”

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
