       Even if you argue that we may speak out contrary to the ruler if he or she goes against God, and I think I would accept that, for that is in fact what John the Baptist did, even so, we still may end up bearing the consequences for such an action, like Peter and the apostles did. Does that consequence come from God? I don’t know, but realize that there may be consequences for speaking out for the truth. But we should never speak out against the ruler simply due to the fact we don’t like the person or whatever. I know, what I am saying is pretty foreign here. Verse 8: “Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
