Romans 13
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Whoever then riseth up against the power, against the institution of Aloha he riseth; and they who arise against them will receive judgment.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him.
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
And because of this are we bound to be subject, not for the wrath only, but also because of conscience.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
On this account also give we tribute to them; for they are the servants of Aloha over these things constituted.
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
Render therefore to every man as is due to him: to whom tribute (is due, ) tribute; and to whom custom, custom; and to whom reverence, reverence; and to whom honour, honour.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law:
9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light.
13 Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention;
14 But put on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof).
