Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, but the existing authorities have been ordained by God.
\nRom 13:2 So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves.
\nRom 13:3 For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad. And do you desire not to fear the authority? Do the good, and you will have praise from it;
\nRom 13:4 for it is a servant of God to you for the good. But if you practice evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to the one practicing bad things.
\nRom 13:5 Because of this, it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
\nRom 13:6 For on this account you also pay taxes, for they are ministers of God, always giving attention to this very thing.
\nRom 13:7 Then give to all their dues: to the one due tax, the tax; to the one due tribute, the tribute; to the one due fear, the fear; to the one due honor, the honor.
\nRom 13:8 Do not continue to owe no one, nothing, except to love one another. For the one loving the other has fulfilled the Law.
\nRom 13:9 For, “Do not commit adultery,” “do not murder,” “do not steal,” do not bear false witness, “do not lust,” Ex. 20:13-15, 17 and if there is any other commandment, in this word it is summed up, in the words, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Lev. 19:18
\nRom 13:10 Love does not work evil to the neighbor. Then love is the fulfillment of Law.
\nRom 13:11 Also this, knowing the time, that it is now the hour for you to be aroused from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
\nRom 13:12 The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near; then let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the weapons of the light.
\nRom 13:13 Let us walk becomingly, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkennesses, not in co-habitation and lustful acts, not in fighting and envy.
\nRom 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not make forethought of the flesh, for its lusts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
