13Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.G3956G5590G5293G5242G1849G1063G2076G3756G1849G1508G575G2316G1161G1849G5607G1526G5021G5259G23162Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.G5620G498G1849G436G1296G2316G1161G436G2983G1438G29173For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:G1063G758G1526G3756G5401G18G2041G235G2556G2309G1161G3361G5399G1849G4160G18G2532G2192G1868G1537G8464For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.G1063G2076G1249G2316G4671G1519G18G1161G1437G4160G2556G5399G1063G5409G3756G3162G1500G1063G2076G1249G2316G1558G3709G1519G4238G25565Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.G1352G318G5293G3756G3440G1223G3709G235G2532G4893G12236For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.G1063G1223G5124G1223G5055G5411G2532G1063G1526G2316G3011G4342G1519G5124G8467Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.G591G3767G3956G3782G5411G3588G5411G5056G3588G5056G5401G3588G5401G5092G3588G50928Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.G3784G3367G3367G1508G25G240G1063G25G2087G4137G35519For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.G1063G3431G3756G3431G5407G3756G5407G2813G3756G2813G5576G3756G5576G1937G3756G1937G2532G1536G2087G1785G346G1722G5129G3056G1722G25G4675G4139G5613G143810Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.G26G2038G3756G2556G4139G3767G26G4138G355111And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.G2532G5124G1492G2540G3754G2235G5610G2248G1453G1537G5258G1063G3568G2257G4991G1452G2228G3753G410012The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.G3571G4298G1161G2250G1448G659G3767G659G2041G4655G2532G1746G3696G545713Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.G4043G2156G5613G1722G2250G3361G2970G2532G3178G3361G2845G2532G766G3361G2054G2532G220514But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.G235G1746G2962G2424G5547G2532G4160G3361G4307G1519G4561G1939

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
