Romans 13
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
第二款 社會に於る信徒の義務 人各上に立てる諸権に服すべし。蓋権にして神より出でざるはなく、現に在る所の権は神より定められたるものなり、
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
故に権に逆らふ人は神の定に逆らひ、逆らふ人々は己に罪を得。
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
君主等を懼るべきは、善き業の為に非ずして惡き業の為なり。汝権を懼れざらんと欲するか、善を行へ、然らば彼より誉を得べし。
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
其は汝を益せん為の神の役者なればなり。然れど汝若惡を行はば懼れよ、其は彼は徒に剣を帯ぶるものに非ず、神の役者にして惡を行ふ人に怒を以て報ゆるものなればなり。
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
然れば服從する事は、汝等に必要にして、啻に怒の為のみならず、亦良心の為なり。
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
蓋汝等は亦之が為に税を納む、其は彼等は神の役者にして、之が為に務むればなり。
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
然れば汝等凡ての人に負目を返せ、即ち税を納むべき人には税を納め、課物を払ふべき人には之を払ひ、懼るべき者には懼れ、尊ぶべき者は之を尊べ。
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
汝等相愛するの外は、誰にも何等の負債あるべからず、其は近き者を愛する人は律法を全うしたる者なればなり。
9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
蓋「汝姦淫する勿れ、殺す勿れ、盗む勿れ、僞證する勿れ、貪る勿れ」、此外に誡ありと雖も、汝の近き者を己の如くに愛せよとの言の中に約る。
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
愛は他人に惡しき事を為ず、故に愛は律法の完備なり。
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
斯すべきは是我等が時期を知れる故なり。即ち眠より起くべき時は既に來れり、蓋信仰せし時よりも我等の救霊は今や近きにあり。
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
夜は更けたり、日は近づけり、然れば我等は暗の業を棄てて、光の鎧を着るべし、
13 Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
日中の如く正しく歩むべくして、饕食と酔酗、密通と淫亂、争闘と嫉妬とに歩む可からず、
14 But put on the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
却て主イエズス、キリストを着よ、且惡慾起るべき肉の慮を為すこと勿れ。
