Romans 13
1 Every [believer] must be subject to the authorities. [Remember that] God is the only one [who gives officials their] authority. Furthermore, those officials that exist are ones who have been appointed by God {God has appointed}.
all soul: person authority be higher to subject no for to be authority if: not not (by/under: by *N(k)O*) God the/this/who then to be (authority *k*) by/under: by (the/this/who *k*) God to appoint to be
2 So whoever resists the officials is resisting what God has established. Furthermore, those who resist officials will bring on themselves [from the officials] the punishment [that God considers fitting].
so the/this/who to resist the/this/who authority the/this/who the/this/who God ordinance to oppose the/this/who then to oppose themself judgment to take
3 What rulers [do] is not [to cause people who] do good deeds to be afraid. Instead, [what they do is to cause people who do] evil to be afraid. So, if any of you [RHQ] wants to be unafraid of officials, do what is good! [If you(sg) do good], they will commend you [instead of punishing you!]
the/this/who for ruler no to be fear (the/this/who good *N(k)O*) (work *N(K)O*) but (the/this/who evil/harm: evil *N(k)O*) to will/desire then not to fear the/this/who authority the/this/who good to do/make: do and to have/be praise out from it/s/he
4 It is in order to serve God [by doing their work that every official exists], in order that they may benefit each of you. If any of you does what is evil, you [(sg) will rightfully have reason to] be afraid, because the authority that they have to punish people [MTY] is very real [LIT]! The officials exist to serve God. That is, they act as God’s agents as they punish those who do evil.
God for servant to be you toward the/this/who good if then the/this/who evil/harm: evil to do/make: do to fear no for in vain the/this/who sword to wear God for servant to be avenging toward wrath the/this/who the/this/who evil/harm: evil to do/require
5 So, it is necessary for you [(pl)] to be subject [to officials], not only because they will punish you [MTY] [if you disobey them], but also because you know [that you should be subject to them]
therefore necessity to subject no alone through/because of the/this/who wrath but and through/because of the/this/who conscience
6 It is for this reason that you also pay taxes, because the officials are ones who serve God as they continually do their work.
through/because of this/he/she/it for and tax to finish minister for God to be toward it/s/he this/he/she/it to continue in/with
7 Give to all [the officials] what you are supposed to give to them! Pay taxes to [those who require that you pay taxes]. Pay duties [on goods to those who require that you pay those] duties. Respect [those who ought to] be respected. Honor [those who ought to] be honored.
to pay (therefore/then *K*) all the/this/who debt the/this/who the/this/who tax the/this/who tax the/this/who the/this/who goal/tax the/this/who goal/tax the/this/who the/this/who fear the/this/who fear the/this/who the/this/who honor the/this/who honor
8 Pay all of your debts [when you are supposed to pay them]. The only thing [that is like] a debt that [you] should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that [God requires in] his laws.
nothing nothing to owe if: not not the/this/who one another to love the/this/who for to love the/this/who other law to fulfill
9 [There are many things that God] commanded [in his laws, such as] do not commit adultery, do not murder [anyone], do not steal, and do not desire anything that belongs to someone else. But the command by which they are all summed up {that includes them all} is this: Each of you must love the people with whom you come in contact, just like you [(sg)] love yourself.
the/this/who for no to commit adultery no to murder no to steal (no to perjure *K*) no to long for and if one other commandment in/on/among the/this/who word this/he/she/it to summarise in/on/among the/this/who to love the/this/who near/neighbor you as/when (you *NK(O)*)
10 If you love people with whom you come in contact [PRS], you will not do any evil to them [LIT]. So, whoever loves [others] fulfills all that [God’s] laws [require].
the/this/who love the/this/who near/neighbor evil/harm: evil no to work fulfillment therefore/then law the/this/who love
11 [Do] what I have just told you, especially since you know [the significance of] the time [in which we are living. You know that it is] time for you to be [fully alert and active] [MET], [like people who have] awakened from sleeping [MET], because [the time when Christ will finally] deliver us [from this world’s pain/sin and sorrow] is near. That time (is closer than/was not so close) when we first believed [in Christ].
and this/he/she/it to know the/this/who time/right time that/since: that hour already (you *N(k)O*) out from sleep to arise now for nearer me the/this/who salvation or when to trust (in)
12 [Our time to live in this world] [MTY] [is almost ended] [MET], [like] a night that is nearly ended. The time [when Christ will return] [MTY] is near. So we must quit doing wicked deeds [MET] [such as people do] in the darkness, and [we must be doing the things that will help us resist Satan/evil] [MET], [as soldiers who] put on their armor in the daytime [get ready to resist their enemies].
the/this/who night to advance the/this/who then day to come near (to put aside *NK(o)*) therefore/then the/this/who work the/this/who darkness (and *k*) to put on (then *no*) the/this/who weapon the/this/who light
13 We must behave properly, as though the time [when Christ will return] [MTY] [were already here]. We must not participate in drunken carousing [HEN]. We must not commit any kind of sexual immorality [MTY, DOU]. We must not quarrel. We must not be jealous [of other people].
as/when in/on/among day properly to walk not orgy and drunkenness not bed and debauchery not quarrel and zeal
14 On the contrary, you/we should [be like] the Lord Jesus Christ [so that others will see that we belong to him], just as [people] put on [special clothes so that others will see what group they belong to] [MET]. You/We should stop thinking about [doing the things that your/our] self-directed nature desires.
but to put on the/this/who lord: God Jesus Christ and the/this/who flesh foresight not to do/make: do toward desire
