Romans 13:6-7
6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
tribute — taxes, especially personal and property taxes
ministers (verse 6) — servants discharging functions that are part of God’s plan.
