Romans 13:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 13:9

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.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. ^aTherefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and ^blet us put on the armor of light.

13 ^aLet us walk¹ properly, as in the day, ^bnot in revelry and drunkenness, ^cnot in lewdness and lust, ^dnot in strife and envy.

14 But ^aput on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ^bmake no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
