Thematic Bible











The commandments:

Do not commit adultery;
do not murder;
do not steal;
do not covet;


and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.










Anyone who does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, let a fair judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.


Keep the king’s command because of your oath made before God.

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”




Submit to every human institution because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority, or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.




My son, obey my words,
and treasure my commands.
