1Let euery soule bee subiect vnto the higher powers: For there is no power but of God. The powers that are ordeiaed of God.Select Romans 13:1

2Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues damnation.Select Romans 13:2

4For hee is the minister of God to thee for good: but if thou do that which is euill, be afraid: for he beareth not the sword in vaine: for he is the minister of God, a reuenger to execute wrath vpon him that doeth euill.Select Romans 13:4

9For this, Thou shall not commit adulterie, Thou shall not kill, Thou shall not steale, Thou shall not beare false witnesse, Thou shall not couet: and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.Select Romans 13:9

10Loue worketh no ill to his neighbour, therefore loue is the fulfilling of the Law.Select Romans 13:10

11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleepe: for now is our saluation neerer then when we beleeued.Select Romans 13:11

12The night is farre spent, the day is at hand: let vs therefore cast off the workes of darkenesse, and let vs put on the armour of light.Select Romans 13:12

13Let vs walke honestly as in the day, not in rioting and drunkennesse, not in chambring and wantonnes, not in strife and enuying.Select Romans 13:13

14But put yee on the Lord Iesus Christ, and make not prouision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.Select Romans 13:14
