Rom 13:10	Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law.	Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore ^jlove is the fulfilling of the law.	ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.
Rom 13:11	And do this, understanding the present time: the hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.	Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you ^kto wake from sleep. ^lFor salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.	Καὶ τοῦτο εἰδότες τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι ὥρα ^{▼▼ ἤδη ὑμᾶς = WH NA/NIV: \|\| ἤδη ἡμᾶς = Treg; \|\| ἡμᾶς ἤδη = RP} ἤδη ὑμᾶς ⸃ ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθῆναι, νῦν γὰρ ἐγγύτερον ἡμῶν ἡ σωτηρία ἢ ὅτε ἐπιστεύσαμεν.

Rom 13:14	Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. ^{▼▼In contexts like this, the Greek word for flesh (sarx) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.}	But ^xput on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, ^yto gratify its desires.	ἀλλὰ ἐνδύσασθε τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, καὶ τῆς σαρκὸς πρόνοιαν μὴ ποιεῖσθε εἰς ἐπιθυμίας.
