Romans 13

Settings

• 13:1Let every person be subject to the authorities over him, for there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are ordained by God. Compare
• 13:2So then he who resists the authority opposes God's ordination, and those who oppose will receive judgment to themselves. Compare
• 13:3For the rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you want to have no fear of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from him; Compare
• 13:4For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, fear; he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who practices evil. Compare
• 13:5Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. Compare
• 13:6For because of this you also pay taxes; for they are God's officers, attending constantly to this very thing. Compare
• 13:7Render to all the things due: tax to whom tax is due, custom to whom custom is due, fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due. Compare
• 13:8Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves the other has fulfilled the law. Compare
• 13:9For, "You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Compare
• 13:10Love does not work evil to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Compare
• 13:11And this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to be raised from sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Compare
• 13:12The night is far advanced, and the day has drawn near. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the weapons of light. Compare
• 13:13Let us walk becomingly as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in fornication and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy. Compare
• 13:14But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts. Compare
