⁹ Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

⁴ And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

³³ Do not be tricked by false words: evil company does damage to good behaviour. ³⁴ Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

⁹ The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

¹ Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God. ² For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves. ³ For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise; ⁴ For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer. ⁵ So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right. ⁶ For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times. ⁷ Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given. ⁸ Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law. ⁹ And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete. ¹¹ See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith. ¹² The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light, ¹³ With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy. ¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

¹⁰ Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹² There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
