Romans 13:1-7

1LetG1510 everyG3956 soulG5590 beG1510 inG2316 subjectionG5293 toG1849 theG3956 higher powersG1849: forG1063 thereG1510 isG1510 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1161 ofG2316 GodG2316; andG1161 theG3956 powersG1849 thatG3956 beG1510 areG1510 ordained ofG2316 GodG2316.

2ThereforeG5620 heG1161 thatG5620 resisteth theG3588 powerG1849, withstandeth theG3588 ordinanceG1296 ofG2316 GodG2316: andG1161 theyG1161 thatG5620 withstand shallG2316 receiveG2983 toG1849 themselvesG1438 judgmentG2917.

3ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1510 notG3756 a terror toG2309 theG3588 goodG18 workG2041, butG1161 toG2309 theG3588 evilG2556. AndG2532 wouldest thou have noG3756 fearG5401 ofG1537 theG3588 powerG1849? doG4160 thatG846 whichG3588 isG1510 goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt have praiseG1868 fromG1537 theG3588 sameG846:

4forG1063 heG1437 isG1510 aG1510 ministerG1249 ofG2316 GodG2316 toG1519 thee forG1063 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 thatG2316 whichG3588 isG1510 evilG2556, beG1510 afraidG5399; forG1063 heG1437 beareth notG3756 theG3588 swordG3162 inG1519 vainG1500: forG1063 heG1437 isG1510 aG1510 ministerG1249 ofG2316 GodG2316, anG1510 avengerG1558 forG1063 wrathG3709 toG1519 himG4160 thatG2316 doeth evilG2556.

5WhereforeG1352 ye must needs beG2532 inG2532 subjectionG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 becauseG1223 ofG1223 theG3588 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.

6ForG1063 forG1063 thisG3778 cause ye payG5055 tribute alsoG2532; forG1063 theyG846 areG1510 ministersG3011 ofG1223 God’sG2316 service, attending continuallyG1223 uponG1510 thisG3778 veryG846 thingG3778.

7RenderG591 toG3956 allG3956 theirG3956 dues: tribute toG3956 whomG3588 tribute is dueG3782; customG5056 toG3956 whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 toG3956 whomG3588 fearG5401; honour toG3956 whomG3588 honour.
