Romans 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.
