52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Romans 13

1

Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

2

So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

3

For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

4

for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.

5

Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

6

For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

7

Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

8

Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

9

For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10

Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.

11

This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12

The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13

As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

14

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.

Romans 14

1

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.

2

One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

3

Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

4

Who art *thou* that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5

One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6

He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

7

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

8

For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

9

For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.

10

But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.

11

For it is written, *I* live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12

So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

13

Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

14

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.

15

For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.

16

Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

17

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.

18

For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

19

So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

20

For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].

21

[It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

22

Hast *thou* faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

23

But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
