1. Let every soul be subject to higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, but the existing authorities have been ordained by God.
|
1. Let every G3956 soul G5590 be subject G5293 unto the higher G5242 powers G1849 . For G1063 there is G2076 no G3756 power G1849 but G1508 of G575 God G2316 G1161 : the G3588 powers G1849 that be G5607 are G1526 ordained G5021 of G5259 God G2316 .
|
|
2. So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves.
|
2. Whosoever therefore resisteth G498 G5620 the G3588 power G1849 , resisteth G436 the G3588 ordinance G1296 of God G2316 : and G1161 they that resist G436 shall receive G2983 to themselves G1438 damnation G2917 .
|
|
3. For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad. And do you desire not to fear the authority? Do the good, and you will have praise from it;
|
3. For G1063 rulers G758 are G1526 not G3756 a terror G5401 to good G18 works G2041 , but G235 to the G3588 evil G2556 . Wilt G2309 thou then G1161 not G3361 be afraid G5399 of the G3588 power G1849 ? do G4160 that which is good G18 , and G2532 thou shalt have G2192 praise G1868 of G1537 the same G846 :
|
|
4. for it is a servant of God to you for the good. But if you practice evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to the one practicing bad things.
|
4. For G1063 he is G2076 the minister G1249 of God G2316 to thee G4671 for G1519 good G18 . But G1161 if G1437 thou do G4160 that which is evil G2556 , be afraid G5399 ; for G1063 he beareth G5409 not G3756 the G3588 sword G3162 in vain G1500 : for G1063 he is G2076 the minister G1249 of God G2316 , a revenger G1558 to G1519 execute wrath G3709 upon him that doeth G4238 evil G2556 .
|
|
5. Because of this, it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
|
5. Wherefore G1352 ye must needs G318 be subject G5293 , not G3756 only G3440 for G1223 wrath G3709 , but G235 also G2532 for conscience sake G1223 G4893 .
|
|
6. For on this account you also pay taxes, for they are ministers of God, always giving attention to this very thing.
|
6. For G1063 for this cause G1223 G5124 pay G5055 ye tribute G5411 also G2532 : for G1063 they are G1526 God G2316 's ministers G3011 , attending continually G4342 upon G1519 this very thing G5124 G846 .
|
|
7. Then give to all their dues: to the one due tax, the tax; to the one due tribute, the tribute; to the one due fear, the fear; to the one due honor, the honor.
|
7. Render G591 therefore G3767 to all G3956 their dues G3782 : tribute G5411 to whom G3588 tribute G5411 is due ; custom G5056 to whom G3588 custom G5056 ; fear G5401 to whom G3588 fear G5401 ; honor G5092 to whom G3588 honor G5092 .
|
|
8. Do not continue to owe no one, nothing, except to love one another. For the one loving the other has fulfilled the Law.
|
8. Owe G3784 no man G3367 any thing G3367 , but G1508 to love G25 one another G240 : for G1063 he that loveth G25 another G2087 hath fulfilled G4137 the law G3551 .
|
|
9. For, "Do not commit adultery," "do not murder," "do not steal," do not bear false witness, "do not lust," Ex. 20:13-15, 17 and if there is any other commandment, in this word it is summed up, in the words, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18
|
9. For G1063 this G3588 , Thou shalt not G3756 commit adultery G3431 , Thou shalt not G3756 kill G5407 , Thou shalt not G3756 steal G2813 , Thou shalt not G3756 bear false witness G5576 , Thou shalt not G3756 covet G1937 ; and G2532 if there be any G1536 other G2087 commandment G1785 , it is briefly comprehended G346 in G1722 this G5129 saying G3056 , namely G1722 G3588 , Thou shalt love G25 thy G4675 neighbor G4139 as G5613 thyself G1438 .
|
|
10. Love does not work evil to the neighbor. Then love is the fulfillment of Law.
|
10. Love G26 worketh G2038 no G3756 ill G2556 to his neighbor G4139 : therefore G3767 love G26 is the fulfilling G4138 of the law G3551 .
|
|
11. Also this, knowing the time, that it is now the hour for you to be aroused from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
|
11. And G2532 that G5124 , knowing G1492 the G3588 time G2540 , that G3754 now G2235 it is high time G5610 to G2248 awake G1453 out of G1537 sleep G5258 : for G1063 now G3568 is our G2257 salvation G4991 nearer G1452 than G2228 when G3753 we believed G4100 .
|
|
12. The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near; then let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the weapons of the light.
|
12. The G3588 night G3571 is far spent G4298 G1161 , the G3588 day G2250 is at hand G1448 : let us therefore G3767 cast off G659 the G3588 works G2041 of darkness G4655 , and G2532 let us put on G1746 the G3588 armor G3696 of light G5457 .
|
|
13. Let us walk becomingly, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkennesses, not in co-habitation and lustful acts, not in fighting and envy.
|
13. Let us walk G4043 honestly G2156 , as G5613 in G1722 the day G2250 ; not G3361 in rioting G2970 and G2532 drunkenness G3178 , not G3361 in chambering G2845 and G2532 wantonness G766 , not G3361 in strife G2054 and G2532 envying G2205 .
|
|
14. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not make forethought of the flesh, for its lusts.
|
14. But G235 put ye on G1746 the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , and G2532 make G4160 not G3361 provision G4307 for the G3588 flesh G4561 , to fulfill the G1519 lusts G1939 thereof.
