Romans 13:7

---

← Romans 13:6	Romans 13:7 (KJV)	Romans 13:8 →
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.	Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.	Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
