In our lives as well as in our roles as citizens, Paul in Romans says God expects us and our government to be humble (12:3), use sober judgment (12:3), use our gifts for the good of the community (12:6–8), love one another (12:10), give to those in need (12:13), live in harmony (12:16), leave vengeance to the Lord (12:19), return evil with good (12:21), avoid laziness (13:13), welcome those who are different from you (14:1–6), make peace (14:19) and don’t impose your way of being religious on others (14:1–23).
