of the same:
[4] For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for
he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him
that doeth evil.
[5] Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
[6]
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very
thing.
[7] Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to
whom fear; honour to whom honour.
[8] Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
[9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt
not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment,
it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[10] Love worketh
no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
[11] And that, knowing the time, that now it
is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
[12] The night
is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light.
[13] Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering
and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
[14] But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Rom.14
[1] Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
[2] For one believeth that
he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
[3] Let not him that eateth despise him that
eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
[4] Who
art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be
holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
[5] One man esteemeth one day above another: another
esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
[6] He that regardeth
the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard
it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he
eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
[7] For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
[8]
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live
therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
[9] For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he
might be Lord both of the dead and living.
[10] But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou
set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[11] For it is written,
As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
[12] So
then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
[13] Let us not therefore judge one another
any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's
way.
[14] I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him
that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
[15] But if thy brother be grieved with thy
meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
[16] Let not
then your good be evil spoken of:
[17] For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness,
and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[18] For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to
God, and approved of men.
[19] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another.
[20] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but
it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
[21] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor
any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
[22] Hast thou faith? have it to
thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
[23] And he
that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Rom.15
[1] We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
[2] Let
every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
[3] For even Christ pleased not himself; but,
as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
[4] For whatsoever things were
written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures
might have hope.
[5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward
another according to Christ Jesus:
[6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the
