ylt @Romans: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 , ylt @Romans:13:2 @so that he who is setting himself against the authority , against God 's ordinance hath resisted ; and those resisting , to themselves shall receive judgment . ylt @Romans:13:3 @For those ruling are not a terror to the good works , but to the evil ; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority ? that which is good be doing , and thou shalt have praise from it , ylt @Romans:13:4 @for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good ; and if that which is evil thou mayest do , be fearing , for not in vain doth it bear the sword ; for of God it is a ministrant , an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil . ylt @Romans:13:5 @Wherefore it is necessary to be subject , not only because of the wrath , but also because of the conscience , ylt @Romans:13:6 @for because of this also pay ye tribute ; for servants of God they are , on this very thing attending continually ; ylt @Romans: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 .
