Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 13:1 | Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God, |
| 13:2 | so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance has resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment. |
| 13:3 | For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and do you wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and you shall have praise from it, |
| 13:4 | for of God it is a ministrant to you for good; and if that which is evil you may do, be fearing, for not in vain does it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. |
| 13:5 | Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, |
| 13:6 | for because of this also pay you tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually; |
| 13:7 | render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. |
| 13:8 | To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he has fulfilled, |
| 13:9 | for, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall do no murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false testimony, You shall not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself;' |
| 13:10 | the love to the neighbor does work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law. |
| 13:11 | And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already is to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer is our salvation than when we did believe; |
| 13:12 | the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light; |
| 13:13 | as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation; |
| 13:14 | but put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires. |
