Let everysoulbe subjectunto the higherpowers. Forthere isnopowerbutofGod: thepowersthat beareordainedofGod. Whosoever therefore resisteththepower, resisteththeordinanceof God: andthey that resistshall receiveto themselvesdamnation. Forrulersarenota terrorto goodworks, butto theevil. Wiltthou thennotbe afraidof thepower? dothat which is good, andthou shalt havepraiseofthe same: Forhe isthe ministerof Godto theeforgood. Butifthou dothat which is evil, be afraid; forhe bearethnottheswordin vain: forhe isthe ministerof God, a revengerto execute wrathupon him that doethevil. Wherefore ye must needsbe subject, notonlyforwrath, butalsofor conscience sake. Forfor this causepayye tributealso: forthey areGod's ministers, attending continuallyuponthis very thing. Renderthereforeto alltheir dues: tributeto whomtribute is due ; customto whomcustom; fearto whomfear; honorto whomhonor. Oweno manany thing, butto loveone another: forhe that lovethanotherhath fulfilledthe law. Forthis, Thou shalt notcommit adultery, Thou shalt notkill, Thou shalt notsteal, Thou shalt notbear false witness, Thou shalt notcovet; andif there be anyothercommandment, it is briefly comprehendedinthissaying, namely, Thou shalt lovethyneighborasthyself. Loveworkethnoillto his neighbor: thereforelove is the fulfillingof the law. Andthat, knowingthetime, thatnow it is high timetoawakeout ofsleep: fornow is oursalvationnearerthanwhenwe believed. Thenightis far spent, thedayis at hand: let us thereforecast offtheworksof darkness, andlet us put onthearmorof light. Let us walkhonestly, asinthe day; notin riotinganddrunkenness, notin chamberingandwantonness, notin strifeandenvying. Butput ye ontheLordJesusChrist, andmakenotprovisionfor theflesh, to fulfill thelusts thereof.
