But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

And the man who acts presumptuously to not heed the priest who is standing to serve there before Jehovah your God, or the judge, that man shall die. Thus you shall put away the evil from Israel.

My son, fear Jehovah and the king; and do not fellowship with those who are given to change;

I say, Keep the king's edict, because of the oath of God.

If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, remain quietly where you are; for quietness heals great offenses.

Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. For why should this city be laid waste?

Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man because of the Lord; whether to the king as supreme,

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men;

Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those believing in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a people for His own possession, zealous unto good works.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

being well reported of for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
