Romans 13:5 in Context — Romans 13
3 Porque los magistrados no son para temor al que bien hace, sino al malo. ¿Quieres pues no temer la potestad? haz lo bueno, y tendrás alabanza de ella;
4 Porque es ministro de Dios para tu bien. Mas si hicieres lo malo, teme: porque no en vano lleva el cuchillo; porque es ministro de Dios, vengador para castigo al que hace lo malo.
5 Por lo cual es necesario que [le] estéis sujetos, no solamente por la ira, mas aun por la conciencia.
6 Porque por esto pagáis también los tributos; porque son ministros de Dios que sirven á esto mismo.
7 Pagad á todos lo que debéis: al que tributo, tributo; al que pecho, pecho; al que temor, temor; al que honra, honra.
