Chapter 13 | |
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. |
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 execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. |
5 | Wherefore ye 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 is due; 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. |
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 there be any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
|
10 |
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |
11 | And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. |
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 fulfil the lusts thereof. |
