Romans 13:6-10

⁶That's why you have to pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants taking care of such things.

⁷Pay whatever you owe: taxes to the tax authorities, fees to the fee-collectors; give respect to those who should be respected, honor those who should be honored.

⁸Don't owe anybody anything, except love for one another—for those who love their neighbor have kept the law.

⁹“You must not commit adultery, you must not kill, you must not steal, you must not jealously want things for yourself”—these and the other commandments are summed up in the statement, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

¹⁰Love doesn't do wrong to anyone, so love fulfils the law.
