45:013:002 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation.
45:013:003 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:
45:013:004 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.
45:013:005 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but
also for conscience sake.
45:013:006 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
45:013:007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
45:013:008 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
45:013:009 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.
45:013:010 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
45:013:011 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.
