- Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
- For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.
- Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
- Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
- For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
- But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
