2 So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
3 For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
4 for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.
5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
6 For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

13:5Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

13:5Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience'sake.
13:5Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience sake.
13:5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
13:5Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
13:5Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
13:5Why you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
