drb @Romans:13:1 @Let every soul be subject to higher powers : for there is no power but from God : and those that are , are ordained of God . drb @Romans:13:2 @Therefore he that resisteth the power , resisteth the ordinance of God . And they that resist , purchase to themselves damnation . drb @Romans:13:3 @For princes are not a terror to the good work , 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 . drb @Romans:13:4 @For he is God 's minister to thee , for good . But if thou do that which is evil , fear : for he beareth not the sword in vain . For he is God 's minister : an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil . drb @Romans:13:5 @Wherefore be subject of necessity , not only for wrath , but also for conscience ' sake . drb @Romans:13:6 @For therefore also you pay tribute . For they are the ministers of God , serving unto this purpose . drb @Romans:13:7 @Render therefore to all men their dues . Tribute , to whom tribute is due : custom , to whom custom : fear , to whom fear : honour , to whom honour . drb @Romans:13:8 @Owe no man any thing , but to love one another . For he that loveth his neighbour , hath fulfilled the law . drb @Romans:13:9 @For 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 comprised in this word , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself . drb @Romans:13:10 @The love of our neighbour worketh no evil . Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law . drb @Romans:13:11 @And that knowing the season ; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep . For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed . drb @Romans:13:12 @The night is passed , and the day is at hand . Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness , and put on the armour of light . drb @Romans:13:13 @Let us walk honestly , as in the day : not in rioting and drunkenness , not in chambering and impurities , not in contention and envy : drb @Romans:13:14 @But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ , and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences .
