1Every soul gotta vibe with the higher powers, 'cause no power exists but from God: those in charge are set up by Him.

2So if you’re gonna resist the power, you’re lowkey resisting what God put in place; and those who do will face the consequences, no cap.

3Rulers ain’t a threat to the good peeps, just to the bad ones. So, if you ain’t tryna be sus, do good and you’ll get mad respect.

4He’s like God’s hype man for your good; but if you’re being evil, watch out, 'cause he’s not just flexing that sword for fun.

5So you gotta submit, not just 'cause you’re scared, but 'cause it’s the right thing to do, fr.

6That’s why you gotta pay your taxes too, 'cause they’re God’s crew, always on the grind for this stuff.

7Give everyone what’s owed: taxes where taxes are due; respect where respect is due; fear where fear is due; honor where honor is due.

8Don’t owe anyone anything except love, 'cause loving others is how you keep the law lit.

9For real, don’t commit adultery, don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t covet; and any other command is summed up in this: love your neighbor like you love yourself.

10Love doesn’t hurt your neighbor, so love is how you fulfill the law, periodt.

11And knowing the time, it’s high-key time to wake up: our salvation is closer than when we first believed, fr.

12The night’s almost over, the day is coming: let’s ditch the dark vibes and put on the armor of light.

13Let’s walk real, like it’s daytime; not in wild parties or drunkenness, not in shady stuff or jealousy.

14But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and don’t plan for the flesh to satisfy those desires, that’s just sus.

1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
