Be Subject to Government

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:1 -

Every G3956 [fn]person G5590 is to be subject G5293 to the governing G5242 authorities G1849. For there is no G3756 authority G1849 except G1508 [fn]from God G2316, and those G3588 which exist G1510 are established G5021 by God G2316.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:2 - Therefore G5620 [fn]whoever G3588 resists G436 authority G1849 has opposed G436 the ordinance G1296 of God G2316; and they who have opposed G436 will receive G2983 condemnation G2917 upon themselves G1438.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:3 - For rulers G758 are not a cause G5401 of G5401 fear G5401 for [fn]good G18 behavior G2041, but for evil G2556. Do you want G2309 to have G5399 no G3361 fear G5399 of authority G1849? Do G4160 what G18 is G18 good G18 and you will have G2192 praise G1868 from the same G846;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:4 - for it is a servant G1249 of God G2316 to you for good G18. But if G1437 you do G4160 what G2556 is G2556 evil G2556, be G5399 afraid G5399; for it does not bear G5409 the sword G3162 for nothing G1500; for it is a servant G1249 of God G2316, an avenger G1558 who brings wrath G3709 on the one who practices G4238 evil G2556.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:5 - Therefore G1352 it is necessary G318 to be in subjection G5293, not only G3440 because G1223 of wrath G3709, but also G2532 for the sake G1223 of conscience G4893.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:6 - For because G1223 of this G3778 you also G2532 pay G5055 taxes G5411, for rulers are servants G3011 of God G2316, devoting G4342 themselves G4342 to this G3778 very G846 thing G3778.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:7 - Pay G591 to all G3956 what G3782 is G3782 due G3782 them: tax G5411 to whom G3588 tax G5411 is due; custom G5056 to whom G3588 custom G5056; [fn]respect G5401 to whom G3588 [fn]respect G5401; honor G5092 to whom G3588 honor G5092.
(cf. Mar 12:31; Jas 2:8 )
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:8 -

Owe G3784 nothing G3367 to anyone G3367 except G1508 to love G25 one G240 another G240; for the one who loves G25 [fn]his neighbor G2087 has fulfilled G4137 the Law G3551.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:9 - For this G3588, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT G3431 ADULTERY G3431, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER G5407, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL G2813, YOU SHALL NOT COVET G1937,” and if G1487 there is any G5100 other G2087 commandment G1785, it is summed G346 up G346 in this G3778 saying G3056, “YOU SHALL LOVE G25 YOUR NEIGHBOR G4139 AS YOURSELF G4572.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:10 - Love G26 [fn]does G2038 no G3756 wrong G2556 to a neighbor G4139; therefore G3767 love G26 is the fulfillment G4138 of the Law G3551.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:11 -

Do this G3778, knowing G6063 the time G2540, that it is already G2235 the hour G5610 for you to awaken G1453 from sleep G5258; for now G3568 [fn]salvation G4991 is nearer G1451 to us than G2228 when G3753 we first believed G4100.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:12 - The night G3571 is G4298 almost G4298 gone G4298, and the day G2250 is near G1448. Therefore G3767 let’s rid G659 ourselves of G659 the deeds G2041 of darkness G4655 and put G1746 on G1746 the armor G3696 of light G5457.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:13 - Let’s [fn]behave G4043 properly G2156 as in the day G2250, not in carousing G2970 and drunkenness G3178, not in sexual G2845 promiscuity G2845 and debauchery G766, not in strife G2054 and jealousy G2205.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 13:14 - But put G1746 on the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547, and make G4160 no G3361 provision G4307 for the flesh G4561 in G1519 regard G1519 to G1519 its lusts G1939.
