Romans
Chapter 13
  1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
  2. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
  3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:

  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 all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
