Romans 13:6

Διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ φόρους τελεῖτε· λειτουργοὶ γὰρ Θεοῦ εἰσιν, εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο προσκαρτεροῦντες.
Dia toyto gar kai phoroys teleite· leitoyrgoi gar Theoy eisin, eis ayto toyto proskarteroyntes.
King James Version (KJV)

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Modern English

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
