Today, God’s people are called to join Christ outside the city gate, to bear the disgrace that he bore (v. 13). We are called to become outsiders ourselves, leaving our own desires and loves and comforts to walk outside of the walls in our lives to love all of God’s people.
People also ask, how do you interpret Romans 13?
I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order. Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.
Likewise, people ask, what does the number 13 mean in Hebrew?
13 is the age a Jewish male becomes obligated to follow Jewish law, (i.e. the age at which a Bar Mitzvah is performed) Israel (Jacob) had 13 children. According to gematria (Jewish numerology) the words אהבה (Ahavah/Love) and אחד (Echad/Unity) add up to 13.

God gives us the freedom to choose whom and what we will love and not love. We can love the darkness of sin and unbelief or we can love the light of God’s truth, goodness, and mercy.
