Romans 13

1 Every soul to the authorities being above [him] should be subject. Not for there is authority only except (by *N+kO) God, those however existing (authorities *k) by God instituted are.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.

2 Therefore the [one] resisting the authority the of God ordinance has resisted; those now having resisted upon themselves judgment will bring.

Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

3 The for rulers not are a terror (to the good *N+kO) (work *N+KO) but (to the evil. *N+kO) Do you desire now not to fear the authority? The good do perform and you will have praise from him;

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

4 Of God for servant he is to you for good. If however evil you shall do, do be afraid; not for in vain the sword he bears. of God for a servant He is an avenger for wrath to the [one] evil doing.

for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

5 Therefore necessary [it is] to be subject, not only on account of the wrath but also on account of the conscience.

Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 Because of this for also taxes pay you; servants for of God they are upon this very thing attending continually.

For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 do render (therefore *K) to all their dues, to whom the tax the tax, to whom the revenue the revenue, to whom the respect the respect, to whom the honor the honor.

Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8 To no one nothing do owe only except one another to love; the [one] for loving the other [the] Law has fulfilled;

Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law.

9 For Not you will commit adultery, Not you will murder, Not you will steal (not will you bear false witness *K) Not you will covet, and if any other commandment, in word this it is summed up, in the [saying] You will love the neighbour of you as (yourself. *NK+O)

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love to the neighbour evil not does do; [the] fulfillment therefore of [the] law love [is].

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

11 And this knowing the time, that [it is the] hour already ([for] you *N+kO) out of sleep to awaken; now for nearer [is] of us the salvation than when first we believed;

And this, knowing the season, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed.

12 The night is nearly over and the day has drawn near. (We may cast off *NK+o) therefore the works of darkness, (and *k) we may put on (now *no) the armor of light.

The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 As in daytime properly we may walk, not in reveling and in drinking, not in sexual immorality and in sensuality, not in dissension and in jealousy;

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

14 But do put on the Lord Jesus Christ and of the flesh provision not do make for desires.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfill] the lusts [thereof].
