Is it right to pay taxes? The Spirit moved Paul to write that God gave us government to carry out vengeance against evildoers. That being the case, Paul argued,

For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor (Romans 13:6–7).

Let us, therefore, do as the Scripture says, and do it joyfully.
