You must be obedient, therefore, not only because of this retribution, but also for conscience's sake. (Romans 13, 5)

All these: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and all the other commandments that there are, are summed up in this single phrase: You must love your neighbour as yourself. (Romans 13, 9)

Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled. (Romans 13, 14)
