5 Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, busy with this very thing.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.
7 Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

13 let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.
13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
