6

For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.

7

Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Selected verse

10

Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
