Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God-The Father: the powers that be are ordained of God-The Father.Dan 2:21; 1Pe 2:13; Tit 3:1

Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God-The Father: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will youi then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and youi shall have praise of the same:1Pe 2:14; 1Pe 3:13

For he is the minister of God-The Father to youi for good. But if youi do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God-The Father, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that does evil.

For what reason [you2f] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For for this cause pay you2f tribute also: for they are God-The Father’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.Mat 22:21; Mrk 12:17; Luk 20:25

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.Col 3:14; 1Ti 1:5

For this, youi shall not commit adultery, youi shall not kill, youi shall not steal, youi shall not bear false witness, youi shall not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, youi shall love youri neighbour as yourself.Lev 19:18; Exo 20:14; Deu 5:18; Mat 22:39; Mrk 12:31; Luk 10:27; Jas 2:8; Gal 5:14

Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.Eph 5:14

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.Act 17:30; 2Co 4:6; Eph 5:11

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in lewdness (sexual indulgence) and wantonness, not in strife and envying.Luk 21:34

But put you2f on the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfill] the lusts [thereof].1Pe 2:11; Gal 5:16
