4 For whoever is born of God triumphs over the world: and this is the victory which conquers the world, even our faith.

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And parents, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and teaching of our LORD.
5 Servants, be obedient to your masters according to the flesh, with reverence and trembling, and with a sincere heart, as to Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.
7 And serve well with your whole soul, with love, as to our LORD, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive from our LORD, whether he be a slave or a freeman.
9 Also, masters, do the same things for your servants, forgiving their faults, because you also have your own Master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

18 And pray always, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful at all times, praying constantly and supplicating for all the saints,
19 And for me also, that words may be given to me as soon as I open my mouth, so that I may boldly preach the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am a messenger in chains: that I may speak openly about it, as I ought to speak.
21 In order that you also may know my affairs, and what I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and a faithful minister in our LORD, shall make known to you all things;
22 Him I have sent to you for the same purpose, that you may know how I am, and that he may comfort your hearts.

24 Grace be with all them that love our LORD Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Romans 13:1-14
1 LET every soul be subject to the sover eign authorities. For there is no power which is not from God: and those who are in authority are ordained by God.
2 Whoever therefore resists the civil authority, resists the command of God: and they that resist, shall receive judgment to themselves.
3 For judges are not a menace to good works, but to evil. Now if you do not wish to be afraid of the authority, then do good, and you will be praised for it.
4 For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is wrong, be afraid; for he is not girded with the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, and an avenger of wrath upon those who commit crime.
5 Wherefore, we must be obedient, not only in fear of wrath, but also for our conscience sake.
6 For, for this reason you pay head tax also: for they are ministers of God who are in charge of these things.
7 Render therefore, to every one as is due to him: head tax to him who is in charge of head tax, duty to him who is in charge of custom; reverence to whom reverence is due, and honor to whom honor is due.
8 Owe no man anything, but love one another: for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law,
9 Which says, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
10 Love does not work evil to his neighbor because love is the fulfillment of the law.
11 Know this also, that now is the time and the hour that we should awake from our sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

14 But clothe yourselves with our LORD Jesus Christ, and take no heed for the lusts of the flesh.
