Romans 13:9-14

For your Reflection, the foundational scripture for the Equiets Lux Sacra


Romans 13: 9 - 14

9 The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, (namely) "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10
Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
11
In addition, do this because you know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12
The night is advanced the day is at hand. Let us then throw off the works of darkness.
Let us put on the armor of light.
13
Let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in rivalry and jealousy.
14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
