   "1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power   
   but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.   
   2: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God:   
   and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.   
   3: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou   
   then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have   
   praise of the same:   
   4: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that   
   which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he   
   is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth   
   evil.   
   5: Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also   
   for conscience sake.   
   6: For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers,   
   attending continually upon this very thing.   
   7: Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;   
   custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."
