"For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing."

“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 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.”
“For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.”
(for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation
because it is God’s servant for your well-being. But be afraid if you do wrong because government does not bear the sword for nothing. It is God’s servant to administer punishment on the person who does wrong.
Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.
For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants devoted to governing.
Pay everyone what is owed: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
