vw - Romans:13-14

vw@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

vw@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will receive judgment on themselves.

vw@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

vw@Romans:13:4 @ For he is Gods minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is Gods minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

vw@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

vw@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are Gods ministers attending continually to this very thing.

vw@Romans:13:7 @ Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

vw@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the Law.

vw@Romans:13:9 @ For: Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not covet; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

vw@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no evil to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.

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

vw@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

vw@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk decently, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkenness, not in cohabitation and licentiousness, not in strife and envy.

vw@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

vw@Romans:14:1 @ Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful thoughts.

vw@Romans:14:2 @ For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables.

vw@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

vw@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge anothers servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

vw@Romans:14:5 @ One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully assured in his own mind.

vw@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he who does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

vw@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

vw@Romans:14:8 @ For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lords.

vw@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

vw@Romans:14:10 @ But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you treat your brother as being of no account? For everyone shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

vw@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written: As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

vw@Romans:14:12 @ So then each of us shall give account concerning himself to God.

vw@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a snare in our brothers way.

vw@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

vw@Romans:14:15 @ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

vw@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

vw@Romans:14:17 @ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

vw@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

vw@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.

vw@Romans:14:20 @ Do not bring to naught the work of God on account of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man whose eating causes a stumbling block.

vw@Romans:14:21 @ It is good not to eat flesh nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is enticed to sin or is made weak.

vw@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

vw@Romans:14:23 @ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not out of faith; for whatever is not out of faith is sin.

vw@Romans:15:1 @ We then who are strong ought to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
