13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For
there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained
of God.
13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation.
13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which
is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if
thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the
sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
[execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.
13:5 Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for
wrath, but also for conscience sake.
13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are
God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom
tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear;
honour to whom honour.
13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he
that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not
kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment,
it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love
[is] the fulfilling of the law.
13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time
to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than
when we believed.
13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light.
13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
and envying.
13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].
