Old Testament

New Testament

Romans 13:9-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

10. Love does not commit evil against a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

11. And do this because you know the time, that it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we believed.

12. The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light.

13. Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.

14. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.
