6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.
7 aRender therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Love Your Neighbor
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for ahe who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, a“You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”1 “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, b“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore alove is the fulfillment of the law.
Put on Christ
11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time ato awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
