Romans 13:9-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Romans 13:9-12

9The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
— Romans 13:9-12
