Render Therefore To All Their Dues

Rom. 13:7-11

This is an extensive command. Be rigidly just; withhold neither from the king nor his ministers, nor his officers of justice and revenue, nor from even the lowest of the community, what the laws of God and your country require you to pay. Tribute to whom tribute is due. This word probably means such taxes as were levied on persons and estates. Custom to whom custom is due. This word probably means such duties as were laid upon goods, merchandise, etc, on imports and exports; what we commonly call custom.

Point of Emphasis: Render to all their dues as expected of a child of God.

Prayer Point: Lord, help me to show respect to people in authority in my church and my Nation.
