¹ Every one should be in the higher authorities; for there is no authority apart from God. The authorities that now exist have been appointed by God. ² Therefore the man who rebels against authority is opposing the divine ordinances; and those who withstand will bring judgment on themselves. ³ For rulers are no terror to good deeds, but to evil. Would you be fearless of the ruler's authority? Do what is good, and you will have his praise. ⁴ For the ruler is God's minister appointed for your good. But if you are a wrong-doer, be afraid; he does not carry the sword to no purpose; he is God's servant, appointed to vengeance upon the guilty. ⁵ Wherefore you must needs be in subjection, not only because of fear, but also for conscience sake. ⁶ This too, is the reason why you pay taxes; because the authorities are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing. ⁷ Render to all their dues; taxes to whom taxes, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, and homage to whom homage is due. ⁸ Never owe any one anything save the debt of brotherly love; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. ⁹ For the Law which says, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment there be—is all summed up in this one saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love never wrongs his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.

Arise from the dead; And Christ shall shine upon thee!"

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any other sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fiery indignation which is about to devour the adversaries. ²⁸ Any one who set at naught the law of Moses was put to death without pity, on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much surer, think you, will be the punishment of one who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has profaned that covenant blood with which he was sanctified, and has done despite to the spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him who said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD!

⁹ If you have the spirit of caste you are committing sin, and are convicted by the Law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For if a man keeps the whole of the Law, and yet stumbles in one point, he is guilty of all. ¹¹ For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not Kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but if you do kill, you have transgressed the Law. ¹² So speak and act like men who are to be judged by the law of liberty. ¹³ For judgment is without mercy to the man who has showed no mercy. but mercy glories in the face of judgment.
