13:1 Let
every
person
be
subject
to
the
governing
authorities.
For
there
is
no
authority
except
from
God,
and
those
that
exist
have
been
instituted
by
God.
13:2 Therefore
whoever
resists
the
authorities
resists
what
God
has
appointed,
and
those
who
resist
will
incur
judgment.
13:3 For
rulers
are
not
a
terror
to
good
conduct,
but
to
bad.
Would
you
have
no
fear
of
the
one
who
is
in
authority
Then
do
what
is
good,
and
you
will
receive
his
approval,
13:4 for
he
is
God's
servant
for
your
good.
But
if
you
do
wrong,
be
afraid,
for
he
does
not
bear
the
sword
in
vain.
For
he
is
the
servant
of
God,
an
avenger
who
carries
out
God's
wrath
on
the
wrongdoer.
13:5 Therefore
one
must
be
in
subjection,
not
only
to
avoid
God's
wrath
but
also
for
the
sake
of
conscience.
13:6 For
because
of
this
you
also
pay
taxes,
for
the
authorities
are
ministers
of
God,
attending
to
this
very
thing.
13:7 Pay
to
all
what
is
owed
to
them:
taxes
to
whom
taxes
are
owed,
revenue
to
whom
revenue
is
owed,
respect
to
whom
respect
is
owed,
honor
to
whom
honor
is
owed.
13:8 Owe
no
one
anything,
except
to
love
each
other,
for
the
one
who
loves
another
has
fulfilled
the
law.
13:9 For
the
commandments,
"You
shall
not
commit
adultery,
You
shall
not
murder,
You
shall
not
steal,
You
shall
not
covet,"
and
any
other
commandment,
are
summed
up
in
this
word:
"You
shall
love
your
neighbor
as
yourself."
13:10 Love
does
no
wrong
to
a
neighbor;
therefore
love
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
law.
13:11 Besides
this
you
know
the
time,
that
the
hour
has
come
for
you
to
wake
from
sleep.
For
salvation
is
nearer
to
us
now
than
when
we
first
believed.
13:12 The
night
is
far
gone;
the
day
is
at
hand.
So
then
let
us
cast
off
the
works
of
darkness
and
put
on
the
armor
of
light.
13:13 Let
us
walk
properly
as
in
the
daytime,
not
in
orgies
and
drunkenness,
not
in
sexual
immorality
and
sensuality,
not
in
quarreling
and
jealousy.
13:14 But
put
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
make
no
provision
for
the
flesh,
to
gratify
its
desires.
