"Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand." ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬-‭4‬.

"And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.11-14.NKJV

"Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.8-10.NKJV

Romans 13:1-7. A Biblical View of Government.

A biblical view of government.

Romans 13:1 teaches us where the government derives its authority. God in His absolute authority appoints the government with a limited sphere of authority. This limited sphere of authority is established to enforce God's law.

Romans 12:14-21 teaches us how to live at peace with everyone, even our enemies.

Romans 12:10-13

The genuine Christian is driven by love to manifest the character of Christ in every relationship and situation.

Romans 12:3-8, "For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness." NKJV
