| 1 | Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. | Obedience to Rulers Ro.13.1-7 | |
| 2 | Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. | ||
| 3 | For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: | ||
| 4 | For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to wrath upon him that doeth evil. | ||
| 5 | Wherefore must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. | ||
| 6 | For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. | ||
| 7 | Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute ; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. | ||
| 8 | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. | Brotherly Love Ro.13.8-10 | |
| 9 | For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. | - The commandments Ro.13.9 - Ex.20.13-17, .5.17 | |
| 10 | Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love the fulfilling of the law. | ||
| 11 | And that, knowing the time, that now high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed. | The Approach of the Day of Christ Ro.13.11-14 | |
| 12 | The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. | ||
| 13 | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. | ||
| 14 | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to the lusts . | ||
