Romans 13

1LetG5293 everyG3956 soulG5590 be subject untoG5293 the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG1510 noG3756 authorityG1849 butG3361 ofG575 GodG2316: the powersG1849 that beG1510 areG1510 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316. 2WhosoeverG498 thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the authorityG3588G1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG3588G2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917. 3ForG1063 rulersG3588G758 areG1510 notG3756 a terrorG5401 toG2041 goodG3588G18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG3588G2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraid ofG5399 the powerG3588G1849? doG4160 that which is goodG3588G18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846: 4ForG1063 he isG1510 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4771 forG1519 goodG3588G18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG3588G2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3588G3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG1510 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 toG1519 execute wrathG3709 upon him that doethG3588G4238 evilG3588G2556. 5WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3588G3709, butG235 alsoG2532 forG1223 conscience sakeG3588G4893. 6ForG1063 forG1223 this causeG3778 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1510 God’sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG3778 very thingG846.

7RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3588G3782: tributeG3588G5411 to whomG3588 tributeG3588G5411 is due; customG3588G5056 to whomG3588 customG3588G5056; fearG3588G5401 to whomG3588 fearG3588G5401; honourG3588G5092 to whomG3588 honourG3588G5092.

8OweG3784 no manG3367 any thingG3367, butG1487G3361 to loveG3588G25 one anotherG240: forG1063 he that lovethG3588G25 anotherG3588G2087 hath fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551. 9ForG1063 thisG3588, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431, Thou shaltG5407 notG3756 killG5407, Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813, Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937; andG2532 ifG1487 there be anyG5100 otherG2087 commandmentG1785, it is briefly comprehendedG346 inG1722 thisG3778 sayingG3588G3056, namelyG1722, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4771 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG1438. 10LoveG3588G26 workethG2038 noG3756 illG2556 to his neighbourG4139: thereforeG3767 loveG3588G26 is the fulfillingG4138 of the lawG3551.

11AndG2532 thatG3778, knowingG1492 the timeG3588G2540, thatG3754 nowG2235 it is high timeG5610 to awakeG1453 out ofG1537 sleepG5258: forG1063 nowG3568 is ourG1473 salvationG3588G4991 nearerG1452 thanG2228 whenG3753 we believedG4100. 12The nightG3588G3571 is far spentG4298, the dayG2250 is at handG1448: let usG659 thereforeG3767 cast offG659 the worksG3588G2041 of darknessG3588G4655, andG2532 let us put onG1746 the armourG3588G3696 of lightG3588G5457. 13Let us walkG4043 honestlyG2156, asG5613 inG1722 the dayG2250; notG3361 in riotingG2970 andG2532 drunkennessG3178, notG3361 in chamberingG2845 andG2532 wantonnessG766, notG3361 in strifeG2054 andG2532 envyingG2205. 14ButG235 put ye onG1746 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 notG3361 provisionG4307 for the fleshG3588G4561, toG1519 fulfil the lustsG1939 thereof.
