Romans 13:6-10

6For becauseG1223 of thisG3778 you alsoG2532 payG5055 taxesG5411, for rulers are servantsG3011 of GodG2316, devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to thisG3778 veryG846 thingG3778. 71RenderG591 to allG3956 whatG3782 is dueG3782 them: 2taxG5411 to whomG3588 taxG5411 is due; 3customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honorG5092 to whomG3588 honorG5092.

8OweG3784 nothingG3367 to anyoneG3367 exceptG1508 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; for 4he who lovesG25 5his neighborG2087 has fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551. 9For thisG3588, “6You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, You shall not murderG5407, You shall not stealG2813, You shall not covetG1937,” and ifG1487 there is anyG5100 otherG2087 commandmentG1785, it is summedG346 up in thisG3778 sayingG3056, “7You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.” 10LoveG26 8doesG2038 noG3756 wrongG2556 to a neighborG4139; thereforeG3767 9loveG26 is the fulfillmentG4138 of the lawG3551.
