5Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience` sake.
6For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are ministers of God`s service, attending continually on this very thing.
7Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
8Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10Love doesn`t harm his neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11This, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awake out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
