Romans 13:8-14

8OweG3784 nothingG3367 to anyoneG3367 exceptG1508 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; for 1the one who lovesG25 2his neighborG2087 has fulfilledG4137 the LawG3551. 9For thisG3588, “3You 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 upG346 in thisG3778 sayingG3056, “4You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.” 10LoveG26 5doesG2038 noG3756 wrongG2556 to a neighborG4139; thereforeG3767 6loveG26 is the fulfillmentG4138 of the LawG3551.

11Do thisG3778, knowingG3609 the timeG2540, that it is 7alreadyG2235 the hourG5610 for you to 8awakenG1453 from sleepG5258; for nowG3568 9salvationG4991 is nearerG1451 to us thanG2228 whenG3753 we first believedG4100. 1210The nightG3571 isG4298 almostG4298 goneG4298, and 11the dayG2250 is nearG1448. ThereforeG3767 let’s ridG659 ourselves ofG659 12the deedsG2041 of darknessG4655 and putG1746 onG1746 13the armorG3696 of lightG5457. 13Let’s 1415behaveG4043 properlyG2156 as in the dayG2250, 16not in carousingG2970 and drunkennessG3178, not in sexualG2845 promiscuityG2845 and debaucheryG766, not in strifeG2054 and jealousyG2205. 14But 17putG1746 on the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and makeG4160 noG3361 provisionG4307 for the fleshG4561 18inG1519 regardG1519 toG1519 its lustsG1939.
