for tax, the tax ; to him who calls for fear, such
fear ; to him who calls for honor, such honor . Do
not be owing anybody a single thing, except to
love one another ; for he that loves his fellow man
has fulfilled the law ."-Romans 13 :6-8, NW .
18 For obeying these Theocratic instructions Jehovah's
witnesses cannot truthfully be called
"anarchists" against the governments of this
world. The Bible account shows that the apostle
Paul, who wrote Romans, chapter 13, was respectful
to earthly kings and considered their
position, power and responsibility . And so were
other servants of God who are reported on .
Hence all the charges that they were seditionists,
upsetters of the world, propagandists of unlawful
customs, etc ., were proved false . Acts 16 :19-21 ;
17 :6-8 ; 24 :10-13 ; 25 :8, 10, 11 ; 26 :1-3, 7,19, 30-32
We conscientiously render to "Caesar" what belongs
to such worldly ruling power . But we know,
too, that Caesar is not first in his claims . We put
first things first . We have come to know that Jehovah
God is the Supreme Authority of heaven
and earth and that he appointed Jesus Christ to
be a Superior Authority ; and faithful subjection
to these Superior Authorities means everlasting
life to us .
18 . What proves we cannot truthfully be called "anarchists"
for obeying such Theocratic instructions?
What do we know on this?
