CUST
- TODA a alma esteja sujeita às potestades superiores; porque não há potestade que não venha de Deus; e as potestades que há foram ordenadas por Deus.
- Por isso, quem resiste à potestade resiste à ordenação de Deus; e os que resistem trarão sobre si mesmos a condenação.
- Porque os magistrados não são terror para as boas obras, mas para as más. Queres tu, pois, não temer a potestade? Faze
- Bem, e terás louvor dela.
- Porque ela é ministro de Deus, para teu bem. Mas, se fizeres
- Mal, teme, pois não traz debalde a espada; porque é ministro de Deus, e vingador, para castigar
- Que faz
- Mal.
- Portanto, é necessário que lhe estejais sujeitos, não somente pelo castigo, mas, também, pela consciência.
- Por esta razão, também, pagais tributos, porque são ministros de Deus, atendendo sempre a isto mesmo.
- Portanto, dai a cada um
- Que deveis: a quem tributo, tributo; a quem imposto, imposto; a quem temor, temor; a quem honra, honra.
- A ninguém devais coisa alguma, a não ser
- Amor com que vos ameis uns aos outros; porque quem ama aos outros cumpriu a lei.
- Com efeito: Não adulterarás; Não matarás; Não furtarás; Não darás falso testemunho; Não cobiçarás; e, se há algum outro mandamento, tudo nesta palavra se resume: Amarás ao teu próximo, como a ti mesmo.
- O amor não faz mal ao próximo. De sorte que
- Cumprimento da lei é
- Amor.
- E isto digo, conhecendo
- Tempo, que é já hora de despertarmos do sono; porque a nossa salvação está, agora, mais perto de nós do que quando aceitamos a fé.
- A noite é passada, e
- Dia é chegado. Rejeitemos, pois, as obras das trevas, e vistamo-nos das armas da luz.
- Andemos honestamente, como de dia; não em glutonarias, nem em bebedeiras, nem em desonestidades, nem em dissoluções, nem em contendas e inveja.
- Mas, revesti-vos do Senhor Jesus Cristo, e não tenhais cuidado da carne nas suas concupiscências.
