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

11 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 12 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 13 Let us walk honestly as in the day not in rioting and drunkenness not in chambering and wantonness not in strife and envying 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof
