- 13:8 Do not stay in debt to anyone, except for the debt of love you owe one another. Whoever loves another person has fulfilled the law. 17
- 13:1 Everyone must submit to the authorities who govern, because no authority exists except by God's doing, and the authorities that are in place have been put there by God. 15
- 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor, and so love is what fulfills the law. 8
- 13:14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ like clothing, and do not make plans to satisfy the desires of the flesh. 8
- 13:11 Do this because you know what time it is: it is already time for you to wake up out of sleep. Our salvation is closer now than it was when we first believed. 7
- 13:4 For the ruler is God's servant, working for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because the ruler does not carry the sword for nothing. The ruler is God's servant, one who avenges and brings wrath on anyone who does wrong. 5
- 13:2 So anyone who sets themselves against the authority is standing against what God has ordered, and those who take that stand will bring judgment on themselves. 4
- 13:3 Rulers are not something to fear when you do what is good, only when you do what is wrong. Would you like to have no fear of the one in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval. 4
- 13:7 Pay everyone what you owe them: taxes to the one who collects taxes, customs to the one who collects customs, respect to the one who is owed respect, honor to the one who is owed honor. 3
- 13:13 Let us live decently, as people do in the daytime: not in wild parties and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and shameless excess, not in quarrels and envy. 2
- 13:5 So you must submit, not only to escape wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 1
- 13:6 This is the reason you also pay taxes: those in authority serve God in a public office, and they give themselves to this very task. 1
- 13:9 Take the commandments "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet": these, and whatever other commandment there is, are gathered up in this one saying: "You must love your neighbor as you love yourself." 1
