Romans 13

1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.

Let every soule submit him selfe vnto the auctorite of ye hyer powers. For there is no power but of God.

2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.

The powers that be are ordeyned of God. Whosoever therfore resysteth power resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resist shall receave to the selfe damnacio.

3 For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.

For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same.

4 For he is God’s minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God’s minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.

For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll.

5 Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

Wherfore ye must nedes obeye not for feare of vengeaunce only: but also because of conscience.

6 For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.

And even for this cause paye ye tribute. For they are goddes ministers servynge for the same purpose.

7 Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour.

Geve to every man therfore his duetie: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custome to whom custome is due: feare to whom feare belongeth: Honoure to who honoure pertayneth

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.

Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe.

9 For Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

For these commaundementes: Thou shalt not comit advoutry: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Thou shalt not desyre and so forth (yf there be eny other comaundement) they are all comprehended in this sayinge: Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.

10 The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law.

Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe.

11 And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved.

12 The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.

The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght.

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy:

Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge and drinkynge: nether in chamburynge and wantannes: nether in stryfe and envyinge:

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.

but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it.
