rwbs@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God. (note:)ordained: or, ordered(:note)

rwbs@Romans:13:2 @ Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves condemnation.

rwbs@Romans:13:3 @ 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 from the same:

rwbs@Romans:13:4 @ For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to wrath upon him that doeth evil.

rwbs@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

rwbs@Romans:13:6 @ For for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

rwbs@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

rwbs@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

rwbs@Romans:13:9 @ 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.

rwbs@Romans:13:10 @ Love worketh no ill to one’s neighbour: therefore love the fulfilling of the law.

rwbs@Romans:13:11 @ And this, knowing the time, that now high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed.

rwbs@Romans:13:12 @ 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.

rwbs@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revellings and drunkenness, not in immorality and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (note:)honestly: or, decently(:note)

rwbs@Romans:13:14 @ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the lusts of flesh.
