Romans 13:8-14

8Be indebtedG3784 to no oneG3367, exceptG1487G3361 to one anotherG240 in loveG25. ForG1063 he whoG3588 lovesG25 his neighborG2087 has fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551. 9TheG3588 commandments “Do not commit adulteryG3756G3431,” “Do not murderG3756G5407,” “Do not stealG3756G2813,” “Do not covetG3756G1937,”1 andG2532 anyG5100 otherG2087 commandmentsG1785, are summed upG346 inG1722 thisG3778 one decreeG3056: “LoveG25 yourG4771 neighborG4139 asG5613 yourselfG4572.”2 10LoveG26 does no wrongG3756G2038G2556 toG3588 its neighborG4139. ThereforeG3767 loveG26 is the fulfillmentG4138 of the lawG3551.

11AndG2532 do thisG3778, understandingG1492 theG3588 occasionG2540. The hourG5610 has comeG2235 for youG4771 to wake upG1453 fromG1537 your slumberG5258, forG1063 ourG1473 salvationG4991 is nearerG1452 nowG3568 thanG2228 whenG3753 we first believedG4100. 12TheG3588 nightG3571 is nearly overG4298; theG3588 dayG2250 has drawn nearG1448. SoG3767 let us lay asideG659 theG3588 deedsG2041 of darknessG4655 andG1161 put onG1746 theG3588 armorG3696 of lightG5457. 13Let us behaveG4043 decentlyG2156, asG5613 inG1722 the daytimeG2250, notG3361 in carousingG2970 andG2532 drunkennessG3178, notG3361 in sexual immoralityG2845 andG2532 debaucheryG766, notG3361 in dissensionG2054 andG2532 jealousyG2205. 14InsteadG235, clothe yourselves withG17463 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 noG3361 provisionG4307 forG1519 the desiresG1939 of theG3588 fleshG4561.
