- Let everyone submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which derives from God, and whatever authorities exist have been instituted by God.
- That is why you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, and they devote themselves to this service.
- Pay to each person what is rightfully his—taxes to the one to whom taxes are due, tolls to the one to whom tolls are due, respect to the one to whom respect is due, honor to the one to whom honor is due.
- Owe nothing to anyone except the debt of love you owe one another. The one who loves others has fulfilled the Law.
- “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and every other commandment are all summed up in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Love cannot result in any harm to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- Rather, put on the Lord Jesus Christ and allow no opportunity for the flesh to gratify its sinful desires.
