45:012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that
teacheth, on teaching;
45:012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him
do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
45:012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.
45:012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in
honour preferring one another;
45:012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
45:012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant
in prayer;
45:012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
45:012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
45:012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
weep.
45:012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things,
but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
conceits.
45:012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in
the sight of all men.
45:012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
with all men.
45:012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord.
45:012:020 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give
him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on
his head.
45:012:021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
45:013:001 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.
45:013:002 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation.
45:013:003 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.
Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
45:013:004 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.
45:013:005 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but
also for conscience sake.
45:013:006 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
45:013:007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is
due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom
honour.
