Joe: Alright, so what's the deal with Romans 13?

Bible Expert: Well, Romans 13 is all about being subject to the governing authorities. It says that we should obey them because they have been put in place by God and they are God's servants. It also says that we should pay our taxes and not take part in any kind of rebellion.

Joe: So basically, don't mess with the government?

Bible Expert: Yeah, that's right. It's saying that we should respect and obey the government and its laws, because that's what God wants us to do.

Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. So what else does it say?

Bible Expert: Well, it also talks about how we should love our neighbor and treat others with respect. It says that we should not be too proud or think that we're better than others, and that we should be willing to forgive and show mercy.

Joe: That's really cool! So, bottom line, what does Romans 13 tell us?

Bible Expert: The bottom line is that we should respect and obey the government, pay our taxes, and love our neighbor. That's what God wants us to do.
