We look today at submitting to the governing authorites, even when they are evil.

Rom 13:1-2 Let every soul submit to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God. (2) Consequently the one resisting the authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and those opposing shall receive judgment to themselves.

Today we start chapter 13: Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. Or, as the King James Version has it, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

Rom 12:15-21 Rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep. (16) Be of the same mind toward one another. Not minding the high things, but associating with the humble. Do not become wise in your own opinion. (17) Repay no one evil for evil; providing that which is good before all men. (18) If possible, as much as depends on you, keeping peace with all men. (19) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. (20) Therefore "If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head." (21) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Today on the Gospelstudy podcast we look at hospitality, as well as blessing those who curse us.

Rom 12:13-14 sharing in the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality. (14) Bless those that persecute you; bless and do not curse.
