¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

⁷ Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

¹⁷ Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king.

¹⁴ For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

¹⁵ And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

²⁴ But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

²⁵ The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.

¹⁹ Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

²⁰ For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

¹ For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

¹³ And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁹ But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

²⁰ For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

³⁰ And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

⁴⁶ And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

³³ And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

²² And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

²⁶ And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

²⁷ But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

⁶ A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your name?

⁴ It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.

⁵ Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.

²¹ My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:

²⁶ My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.

¹² Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.

¹³ He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
