Romans 13:4–10

4 For he is gthe 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 gthe minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore hye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also ifor conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye ktribute also: for they are gGod’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 lRender therefore to all their dues: ktribute to whom tribute is due; mcustom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for nhe that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, oThou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, opThou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, qThou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore nrlove is the fulfilling of the law.
