Daily Meditation
14 But put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts
thereof.
Today’s Reading
Romans
Chapter 13
Let every soul be
subject unto the higher powers.
1 Let every soul be
subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers
that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 for he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon
him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath,
but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for
they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom
custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but
to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For
this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be
any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
