Romans:13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Let every soul be subject (
5732 )
unto the higher (
5723 )
powers .
For there is (
5748 )
no power but of God :
the powers that be (
5752 )
are (
5748 )
ordained (
5772 )
of God .
*
Whosoever therefore resisteth (
5734 )
the power ,
resisteth (
5758 )
the ordinance of God :
and they that resist (
5761 )
shall receive (
5695 )
to themselves damnation .
*
For rulers are (
5748 )
not a terror to good works ,
but to the evil .
Wilt thou (
5719 )
then not be afraid (
5738 )
of the power ?
do (
5720 )
that which is good ,
and thou shalt have (
5692 )
praise of the same :
*
For he is (
5748 )
the minister of God to thee for good .
But if thou do (
5725 )
that which is evil ,
be afraid (
5737 );
for he beareth (
5719 )
not the sword in vain :
for he is (
5748 )
the minister of God ,
a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth (
5723 )
evil .
*
Wherefore ye must needs be subject (
5733 ),
not only for wrath ,
but also for conscience sake .
*
For for this cause pay ye (
5719 )
tribute also :
for they are (
5748 )
Gods ministers ,
attending continually (
5723 )
upon this very thing .
*
Render (
5628 )
therefore to all their dues :
tribute to whom tribute is due ;
custom to whom custom ;
fear to whom fear ;
honour to whom honour .
*
Owe (
5720 )
no man any thing ,
but to love (
5721 )
one another :
for he that loveth (
5723 )
another hath fulfilled (
5758 )
the law .
*
For this ,
Thou shalt not commit adultery (
5692 ),
Thou shalt not kill (
5692 ),
Thou shalt not steal (
5692 ),
Thou shalt not bear false witness (
5692 ),
Thou shalt not covet (
5692 );
and if there be any other commandment ,
it is briefly comprehended (
5743 )
in this saying ,
namely ,
Thou shalt love (
5692 )
thy neighbour as thyself .
*
Love worketh (
5736 )
no ill to his neighbour :
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law .
*
And that ,
knowing (
5761 )
the time ,
that now it is high time to awake (
5683 )
out of sleep :
for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed (
5656 ).
*
The night is far spent (
5656 ),
the day is at hand (
5758 ):
let us therefore cast off (
5643 )
the works of darkness ,
and let us put on (
5672 )
the armour of light .
*
Let us walk (
5661 )
honestly ,
as in the day ;
not in rioting and drunkenness ,
not in chambering and wantonness ,
not in strife and envying .
*
But put ye on (
5669 )
the Lord Jesus Christ ,
and make (
5732 )
not provision for the flesh ,
to fulfil the lusts thereof .
