Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God; and those that exist are placed under 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 Wherefore, he who sets himself in opposition to the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they who resist shall procure punishment to themselves.
ὥστε ὁ ἀντιτασσόμενος τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ διαταγῇ ἀνθέστηκεν· οἱ δὲ ἀνθεστηκότες ἑαυτοῖς κρίμα λήμψονται.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Would you, then, not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same.
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 the ruler is a servant of God for good to you. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; because he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a servant of God, a revenger to inflict wrath on him who works 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 Wherefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience.
διὸ ἀνάγκη ὑποτάσσεσθαι, οὐ μόνον διὰ τὴν ὀργὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν.
6 For this reason, therefore, you pay taxes also to them, because they are public ministers of God, attending continually to this very business.
διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ φόρους τελεῖτε· λειτουργοὶ γὰρ θεοῦ εἰσιν εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο προσκαρτεροῦντες.
7 Render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tax is due, tax; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honor, honor.
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, unless to love one another. For he who loves another, has fulfilled the law.
μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε εἰ μὴ τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν· ὁ γὰρ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἕτερον νόμον πεπλήρωκεν·
9 For this, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not covet"; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this precept, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
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 Love works no evil to one's neighbor: therefore, love the the fulfilling of the law.
ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.
11 Further, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to awake 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 the night is far advanced, and the day is at hand.) Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of 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 about decently, as in the day, not in revelings and drunkenness; not in chamberings and lasciviousness; 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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lusts of the flesh.
ἀλλ᾽ ἐνδύσασθε τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν καὶ τῆς σαρκὸς πρόνοιαν μὴ ποιεῖσθε εἰς ἐπιθυμίας.
