Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.
Πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἐξουσίαις ὑπερεχούσαις ὑποτασσέσθω. οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν ἐξουσία εἰ μὴ (ὑπὸ *N(k)O*) θεοῦ, αἱ δὲ οὖσαι (ἐξουσίαι *k*) ὑπὸ (τοῦ *k*) θεοῦ τεταγμέναι εἰσίν.
2 So the one resisting the authority, antagonizes the ordinance of God: and those antagonizing shall receive to themselves judgment.
ὥστε ὁ ἀντιτασσόμενος τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ διαταγῇ ἀνθέστηκεν· οἱ δὲ ἀνθεστηκότες ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:
οἱ γὰρ ἄρχοντες οὐκ εἰσὶν φόβος (τῷ ἀγαθῷ *N(k)O*) (ἔργῳ *N(K)O*) ἀλλὰ (τῷ κακῷ. *N(k)O*) θέλεις δὲ μὴ φοβεῖσθαι τὴν ἐξουσίαν; τὸ ἀγαθὸν ποίει καὶ ἕξεις ἔπαινον ἐξ αὐτῆς·
4 for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.
θεοῦ γὰρ διάκονός ἐστιν σοὶ εἰς τὸ ἀγαθόν. ἐὰν δὲ τὸ κακὸν ποιῇς, φοβοῦ· οὐ γὰρ εἰκῇ τὴν μάχαιραν φορεῖ. θεοῦ γὰρ διάκονός ἐστιν ἔκδικος εἰς ὀργὴν τῷ τὸ κακὸν πράσσοντι.
5 Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
διὸ ἀνάγκη ὑποτάσσεσθαι, οὐ μόνον διὰ τὴν ὀργὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν.
6 For on account of this also pay tribute; for they are the ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ φόρους τελεῖτε· λειτουργοὶ γὰρ θεοῦ εἰσιν εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο προσκαρτεροῦντες.
7 Give to all their dues: custom to whom custom is due; tribute to whom tribute is due; fear to whom fear is due; honor to whom honor is due.
ἀπόδοτε (οὖν *K*) πᾶσιν τὰς ὀφειλάς, τῷ τὸν φόρον τὸν φόρον, τῷ τὸ τέλος τὸ τέλος, τῷ τὸν φόβον τὸν φόβον, τῷ τὴν τιμὴν τὴν τιμήν.
8 Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.
μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε εἰ μὴ τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν· ὁ γὰρ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἕτερον νόμον πεπλήρωκεν·
9 For, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself with divine love.
τὸ γὰρ οὐ μοιχεύσεις, οὐ φονεύσεις, οὐ κλέψεις (οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις, *K*) οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις, καὶ εἴ τις ἑτέρα ἐντολή, ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ ἀνακεφαλαιοῦται, ἐν τῷ ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς (σεαυτόν. *NK(O)*)
10 Divine love works no evil to its neighbor: for divine love is the fulfilling of the law.
ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.
11 And recognizing this time, that it is already the hour we should wake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Καὶ τοῦτο εἰδότες τὸν καιρόν, ὅτι ὥρα ἤδη (ὑμᾶς *N(k)O*) ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθῆναι· νῦν γὰρ ἐγγύτερον ἡμῶν ἡ σωτηρία ἢ ὅτε ἐπιστεύσαμεν·
12 For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light.
ἡ νὺξ προέκοψεν ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα ἤγγικεν. (ἀποθώμεθα *NK(o)*) οὖν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ σκότους, (καὶ *k*) ἐνδυσώμεθα (δὲ *no*) τὰ ὅπλα τοῦ φωτός.
13 Let us walk circumspectly, as in the day; not with revelries and drunkenness, not with debaucheries and impurities, not in strife and envy:
ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ εὐσχημόνως περιπατήσωμεν, μὴ κώμοις καὶ μέθαις, μὴ κοίταις καὶ ἀσελγείαις, μὴ ἔριδι καὶ ζήλῳ·
14 but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.
ἀλλ᾽ ἐνδύσασθε τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν καὶ τῆς σαρκὸς πρόνοιαν μὴ ποιεῖσθε εἰς ἐπιθυμίας.
