Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8

Paul is reiterating his point that the Law fulfilled, the New Covenant, is founded on love for God and fellow man, not meaningless or resented obligation and legalism. Love does not keep a ledger or balance sheet, it is an endless fountain of blessings, but the maintenance of this life does have a monetary stamp on it, and Christians are expected to ethically meet their civic and financial obligations. There is blessing to be found in this too. We are representatives of The Kingdom. Give abundantly and be faithful to those who are dependent on your patronage and payment. 

Paying my bills,

Gretchen
