Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Whatever, either by law or by the constituted order of society, may be due to any, in the way of deference and honour, as well as payments, Christians, as members of society, are bound to render.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Tribute.--Rather, taxes--i.e., taxes upon person or property as opposed to the customs levied upon goods. These were collected by different officers.Fear . . . honour.--There would be one class of officers who could claim respect for their official position, though they had no special means of enforcing it. Another class would have the power of inflicting punishment. This last would necessarily be feared, looked upon with a certain awe and reverence, as well as honoured.
