Scripture & Prayer
Requests

Romans 13:7-9
|
||||
Amplified Bible (AMP)
|
||||
7
Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to
whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor
is due.
8 Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements]. 9 The commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet (have an evil desire), and any other commandment, are summed up in the single command, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. |
