| 13:1 | Euery soule be suget to heiyere powers. For ther is no power but of God, and tho thingis that ben of God, ben ordeyned. |
| 13:2 | Therfor he that ayenstondith power, ayenstondith the ordynaunce of God; and thei that ayenstonden, geten to hem silf dampnacioun. |
| 13:3 | For princes ben not to the drede of good work, but of yuel. But wilt thou, that thou drede not power? Do thou good thing, and thou schalt haue preisyng of it; |
| 13:4 | for he is the mynystre of God to thee in to good. But if thou doist yuel, drede thou; for not with outen cause he berith the swerd, for he is the mynystre of God, vengere in to wraththe to hym that doith yuel. |
| 13:5 | And therfor bi nede be ye suget, not oneli for wraththe, but also for conscience. |
| 13:6 | For therfor ye yyuen tributis, thei ben the mynystris of God, and seruen for this same thing. |
| 13:7 | Therfor yelde ye to alle men dettis, to whom tribut, tribut, to whom tol, tol, to whom drede, drede, to whom onour, onour. |
| 13:8 | To no man owe ye ony thing, but that ye loue togidere. For he that loueth his neiybore, hath fulfillid the lawe. |
| 13:9 | For, Thou schalt do no letcherie, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not stele, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Thou schalt not coueyte the thing of thi neiybore, and if ther be ony othere maundement, it is instorid in this word, Thou schalt loue thi neiybore as thi silf. |
| 13:10 | The loue of neiybore worchith not yuel; therfor loue is the fulfillyng of the lawe. |
| 13:11 | And we knowen this tyme, that the our is now, that we rise fro sleep; for now oure heelthe is neer, than whanne we bileueden. |
| 13:12 | The nyyt wente bifore, but the dai hath neiyed. Therfor caste we awei the werkis of derknessis, and be we clothid in the armeris of liyt. |
| 13:13 | As in dai wandre we onestli, not in superflu feestis and drunkenessis, not in beddis and vnchastitees, not in strijf and in enuye; |
| 13:14 | but be ye clothid in the Lord Jhesu Crist, and do ye not the bisynesse of fleisch in desiris. |
| 13:1 | Let every soule submit him selfe vnto the auctorite of ye hyer powers. For there is no power but of God. |
| 13:2 | The powers that be are ordeyned of God. Whosoever therfore resysteth power resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resist shall receave to the selfe damnacio. |
| 13:3 | For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same. |
| 13:4 | For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll. |
| 13:5 | Wherfore ye must nedes obeye not for feare of vengeaunce only: but also because of conscience. |
| 13:6 | And even for this cause paye ye tribute. For they are goddes ministers servynge for the same purpose. |
| 13:7 | Geve to every man therfore his duetie: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custome to whom custome is due: feare to whom feare belongeth: Honoure to who honoure pertayneth |
| 13:8 | Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe. |
| 13:9 | For these commaundementes: Thou shalt not comit advoutry: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Thou shalt not desyre and so forth (yf there be eny other comaundement) they are all comprehended in this sayinge: Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe. |
| 13:10 | Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe. |
| 13:11 | This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved. |
| 13:12 | The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght. |
| 13:13 | Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge and drinkynge: nether in chamburynge and wantannes: nether in stryfe and envyinge: |
| 13:14 | but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it. |
| 13:1 | Let euery soule submytte himselfe to the auctorite off the hyer powers. For there is no power but of God. |
| 13:2 | The powers that be, are ordeyned of God: so that who so euer resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resiste, shal receaue to them selues danacion. |
| 13:3 | For rulers are not to be feared for good workes, but for euell. Yf thou wilt be without feare off the power, do well then, and thou shalt haue prayse of the same: |
| 13:4 | for he is the minister off God for thy wealth. But yff thou do euell, then feare, for he beareth not the swerde for naughte. For he is the mynister of God, a taker of vengeaunce, to punyshe him that doth euell. |
| 13:5 | Wherfore ye must nedes obeye, not onely for punyshmet, but also because of conscience. |
| 13:6 | For this cause must ye geue trybute also. For they are Gods mynisters, which mateyne ye same defence. |
| 13:7 | Geue to euery man therfore his dutye: tribute, to whom tribute belongeth: custome, to whom custome is due: feare, to whom feare belongeth: honoure, to whom honoure pertayneth. |
| 13:8 | Owe nothinge to eny man, but to loue one another. For he that loueth another, hath fulfylled the lawe. |
| 13:9 | For where it is sayde: ( Thou shalt not breake wedlocke: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false witnesse: thou shalt not lust) and yf there be eny other commaundement, it is compreheded in this worde.Thou shalt loue thy n |
| 13:10 | Loue doth his neghboure no euell. Therfore is loue ye fulfillynge of the lawe. |
| 13:11 | And for so moch as we know this, namely the tyme that the houre is now for vs to ryse from slepe (For now is oure saluacion nearer, then whan we beleued: |
| 13:12 | the nighte is past, but the daye is come nye.) Let vs therfore cast awaye ye workes of darknesse, and put on the armoure of lighte. |
| 13:13 | Let vs walke honestly as in the daye, not in excesse off eatinge aud in dronkennesse, not in chamburynge and wantonnesse, not in stryfe and enuyenge: |
| 13:14 | but put ye on the LORDE Iesus Christ, and make not prouysion for ye flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it. |
