ThoughtForWeek - 4th Sunday in August

Romans 13:8-14

"Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor
has fulfilled the law. For this, "You shall not commit adultery, you shall not
murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment,
it is summed up in this saying, "you shall love your neighbor as yourself."

"Love does no wrong to a neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
And this do, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from
sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed."

"The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the
deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the
day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality,
not in strife and jealousy."

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard
to its lusts." Romans 13:8-14 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

"Don't owe people anything. But you will always owe love to each other. The person
that loves other people has obeyed all the law. Why do I say this? Because the law
says, "You must not do the sin of adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must
not steal anything, you must not want things that belong to other people." All
these commands and all other commands are really only one rule: "Love other people
the same as you love yourself."

"Love doesn't hurt other people. So loving is the same as obeying all the law. I
say these things because you know that we live in an important time. Yes, it is
now time for you to wake up from your sleep. Our salvation is nearer now than when
we first believed."

"The "night" is almost finished. The "day" is almost here. So we should stop doing
things that belong to darkness (sin). We should prepare ourselves with the things
that belong to light (good). Let us live in a right way, like people that belong
to the day. We should not have wild and wasteful parties. We should not be drunk.
We should not do sexual sins or sin in any way with our bodies. We should not cause
arguments and trouble or be jealous."

"But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't think about how to satisfy
your sinful self and the bad things you want to do." Romans 13:8-14 (ERV)
