If everyone is to be respected no matter what then you can not pick and choose who and when to respect someone. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.gotquestions.org/amp/killing-in-war.html Throughout the Bible, warfare is presented as a grim reality in a cursed world. There are forces of evil that must be stopped, and bloodshed is sometimes the result. Whether a Christian should serve in the military is a matter of one’s own conscience, but killing an armed combatant in the context of warfare is not sinful in itself. There is a time and season for everything, including war (Ecclesiastes 3:8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This passage encompasses four major areas of our lives, teaching us that, as followers of Christ, we should respect all men, other Christians, God, and governmental authorities. The word respect is a translation of the Greek word timēsate, meaning “honor or value.” It literally means “to place a great value or high price on something.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word respect is a translation of the Greek word timēsate, meaning “honor or value.” It literally means “to place a great value or high price on something.” And that includes Hitler. The Bible says we are to hate sin. So we can respect someone who is sinning towards us? Jude 1:22-23 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;[a] 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,[b] hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. According to this, our evangelism should be characterized by mercy for the sinner and a healthy hatred of sin and its effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should define what we mean by respect? Noun a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others. Verb admire (someone or something) deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements. God bless, GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Michael the archangel had to respect the Devil, but at the same time asked God to rebuke him. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9).

We might rephrase the question to: A. Is respect earned by... God? B. Is respect earned by... Others? C. Is respect earned by... Ourselves? D. Is respect earned by... Government? E. Is respect earned by... our Enemy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, honor, worship and glory is owed to God Quote B. Is respect earned by... Others? C. Is respect earned by... Ourselves? Yes. Quote D. Is respect earned by... Government? We are commanded to respect the government and its authority in all areas that are right and reasonable. It is something we owe to the government, but it is conditional upon that government's behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do people have to do, say, or think a certain way for them to deserve our respect? C1. Should we respect ourselves? C2. Or do we somehow have to find respect for ourselves?
