ylt - Romans:13:1-7

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.
