| 13:1 | 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 | 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 those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it, |
| 13:4 | 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 it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, |
| 13:6 | 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; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. |
| 13:8 | To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled, |
| 13:9 | 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 | the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, `is' the fulness of law. |
| 13:11 | 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 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 | 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 for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires. |
| 13:1 | Let every soule submit him selfe vnto the auctorite of ye hyer powers. For there is no power but of God. |
| 13:2 | 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. |
| 13:3 | 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. |
| 13:4 | 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. |
| 13:5 | Wherfore ye must nedes obeye not for feare of vengeaunce only: but also because of conscience. |
| 13:6 | And even for this cause paye ye tribute. For they are goddes ministers servynge for the same purpose. |
| 13:7 | 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 |
| 13:8 | Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe. |
| 13:9 | 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. |
| 13:10 | Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe. |
| 13:11 | 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. |
| 13:12 | 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. |
| 13:13 | 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: |
| 13:14 | but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it. |
| 13:1 | Let euery soule submytte himselfe to the auctorite off the hyer powers. For there is no power but of God. |
| 13:2 | The powers that be, are ordeyned of God: so that who so euer resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resiste, shal receaue to them selues danacion. |
| 13:3 | For rulers are not to be feared for good workes, but for euell. Yf thou wilt be without feare off the power, do well then, and thou shalt haue prayse of the same: |
| 13:4 | for he is the minister off God for thy wealth. But yff thou do euell, then feare, for he beareth not the swerde for naughte. For he is the mynister of God, a taker of vengeaunce, to punyshe him that doth euell. |
| 13:5 | Wherfore ye must nedes obeye, not onely for punyshmet, but also because of conscience. |
| 13:6 | For this cause must ye geue trybute also. For they are Gods mynisters, which mateyne ye same defence. |
| 13:7 | Geue to euery man therfore his dutye: tribute, to whom tribute belongeth: custome, to whom custome is due: feare, to whom feare belongeth: honoure, to whom honoure pertayneth. |
| 13:8 | Owe nothinge to eny man, but to loue one another. For he that loueth another, hath fulfylled the lawe. |
| 13:9 | For where it is sayde: ( Thou shalt not breake wedlocke: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false witnesse: thou shalt not lust) and yf there be eny other commaundement, it is compreheded in this worde.Thou shalt loue thy n |
| 13:10 | Loue doth his neghboure no euell. Therfore is loue ye fulfillynge of the lawe. |
| 13:11 | And for so moch as we know this, namely the tyme that the houre is now for vs to ryse from slepe (For now is oure saluacion nearer, then whan we beleued: |
| 13:12 | the nighte is past, but the daye is come nye.) Let vs therfore cast awaye ye workes of darknesse, and put on the armoure of lighte. |
| 13:13 | Let vs walke honestly as in the daye, not in excesse off eatinge aud in dronkennesse, not in chamburynge and wantonnesse, not in stryfe and enuyenge: |
| 13:14 | but put ye on the LORDE Iesus Christ, and make not prouysion for ye flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it. |
