kjv@Romans:13:1@ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
kjv@Romans:13:2@ Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
kjv@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 of the same:
kjv@Romans:13:4@ For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
kjv@Romans:13:5@ Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
kjv@Romans:13:6@ For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
kjv@Romans:13:7@ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
kjv@Romans:13:8@ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
kjv@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 there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
kjv@Romans:13:10@ Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
kjv@Romans:13:11@ And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
kjv@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.
kjv@Romans:13:13@ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
kjv@Romans:13:14@ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
kjv@Romans:12-13 pair up nicely as a practical explanation of the daily Christian walk. These things take place because of our daily sacrifice and presentation to the Lord. They are a result of faith living forth and not being forced by mere religion.
