1 Paul told all people: obey the leaders in the land. God put leaders there. ️ 2 If you fight the leaders, you fight what God set up. If you fight, you will get in trouble. ⚠️ 3 Rulers are not scary if you do good. Do good, and the leader will say good job. 4 The leader works for God to help you. But if you do bad, be afraid. He can punish bad people. ♂️⚖️ 5 So you must obey, not just to skip trouble, but because your heart knows it is right. ❤️✅ 6 This is why you pay tax. Leaders serve God and work to keep order. 7 Give to all what you owe: tax, money, respect, and honor. 8 Do not owe anyone, except to love each other. If you love, you keep God’s rules. ❤️ 9 God’s rules say: do not break your big promise, do not kill, do not steal, do not want what is not yours. All these say: love your neighbor like you love you. ️❤️ 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. So love keeps God’s rules. ️❤️ 11 Do this now. Wake up! God will save us soon. It is closer than before. ⏰ 12 Night is almost gone. Day is near. Say no to dark bad acts. Put on light good ways. ➡️☀️✨ 13 Live good like in the day. Do not do wild bad party stuff. Do not drink too much. Do not be mean or fight. Do not be jealous. 14 Wear Jesus like new clean clothes. Follow Him. Do not plan to feed bad body wants. ✝️
