Romanos 13:1
The book of Proverbs teaches us that kings do not come to rule apart from the dispensation and will of God: "Through me kings reign and princes decree justice." — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 13:2
Those who disobey the king have committed a crime and will face judgment. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 13:11
When we realized what the advantages of good works are, the message of salvation became easier to understand than it was when we first believed. For when we believed in Christ we did not immediately acquire an exact understanding of what we should be doing, nor was it clear to us what we should stop doing and what we should continue doing. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 13:12
The "day" is the time of this life which remains to us, in which we can do good works. The "night" is the future, in which it will no longer be possible to work. Then we shall lie in the darkness, having lost the chance to do good works. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 13:14
This means that we should imitate Christ in what we do and show him to others in the way we behave. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
