Fulfilling the Law Through Love
13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
13:9 For 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.
13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
13:11 And 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.
13:12 The 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.
13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Soli Deo Gloria
God bless you brother John
13:14 Make no provision for the flesh... No breathing space i.e don't give that evil idea, desire, longing, feeling or emotions a second thought! May God help us to be doers of his word, and not only hearers, readers deceiving ourselves.

Yes, at-one-ment. Love thy neighbor as thyself. That means we are all going to have to pull together to survive. The money and the love of it is the catalyst to imprisonment. It is nothing but debt and the world's biggest prison has already been built.
I just started reading Romans in my own personal quiet time. Thank you for sharing. I might be good if you after the text you put in something personal on what spoke to you the most. So that it is not just a copied text. Put your personal take on it!
