| 13:1 |
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. |
Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God, |
| 13:2 |
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. |
so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment. |
| 13:3 |
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: |

| 13:4 |
For he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. |
for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. |
| 13:5 |
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. |
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, |
| 13:6 |
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. |
for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually; |
| 13:7 |
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. |
render, therefore, to all `their' dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. |
| 13:8 |
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. |
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled, |
| 13:9 |
For this, 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 briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;' |
| 13:10 |
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |
the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, `is' the fulness of law. |
| 13:11 |
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. |
And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already `is' to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer `is' our salvation than when we did believe; |
| 13:12 |
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. |
the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light; |
| 13:13 |
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. |
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation; |
| 13:14 |
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. |
but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires. |
