Romans 13 

Let every soul ^abe subject unto the higher powers. For ^bthere is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. ² Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. ^{3 c}For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? ^ddo that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 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. ⁵ Wherefore ^eye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. ⁶ For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. ^{7 g}Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; ^ffear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

⁸ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for ^hhe that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 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, ⁱThou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ¹¹ And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time ^jto awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and ^klet us put on the armour of light. ^{13 l}Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, ^mnot in strife and envying. ¹⁴ But ⁿput ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ^omake not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
