Owe
no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has
fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You
shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You
shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in
this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no
harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Let
every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority
except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore
whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who
resist will bring judgment on themselves.
And
do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for
now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far
spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and
let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in
revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But
put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill
its lusts.
