for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
ACTION STEP: Obey those in authority over you. Bring those that are holding the umbrella over your head joy! They are carrying more weight than us. One day if we will just be faithful to submit with joy, we will reap followers that will be just like us. God is not mocked whatsoever a man sows that she he also reap. Sow seeds that you want to harvest!
