1 STF Svaki иovek da se pokorava viљim vlastima! Jer nema vlasti a da nije od Boga, a љto su vlasti, od Boga su postavljene.

2 STF Ko se, dakle, protivi vlasti, protivi se naredbi Boћjoj; a koji se protive, biжe osuрeni. BSB BSB: Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

7 STF Podajte svakome љto ste duћni: kome porezu, porezu; kome carinu, carinu; kome strah, strah; kome иast, иast! BSB BSB: Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
8 STF Ne budite nikome niљta duћni osim da ljubite jedan drugoga. Jer koji ljubi drugoga, ispunio je zakon. BSB BSB: Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

10 STF Ljubav ne иini zla bliћnjemu; ljubav je, dakle, izvrљenje zakona. BSB BSB: Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
