According to Romans, good citizenship involves

According to the book of Romans in the Bible, good citizenship involves being obedient to those in authority. In Romans 13:1-7, it is written that everyone must submit to the governing authorities because they are established by God. The passage goes on to say that those in authority are God's servants for the good of society and that they do not bear the sword for nothing, but are there to bring punishment on wrongdoers. Therefore, being a good citizen means following the laws and regulations set by those in authority, and recognizing their authority as ordained by God. Other actions such as reporting criminals, supporting the poor and participating in governance may also be part of being a good citizen, but the passage specifically mentions obedience to those in authority as an important aspect of good citizenship.
