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 . ylt @Romans:13:8 @To no one owe anything , except to love one another ; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled , ylt @Romans:13:9 @for , 'Thou shalt not commit adultery , Thou shalt do no murder , Thou shalt not steal , Thou shalt not bear false testimony , Thou shalt not covet ;' and if there is any other command , in this word it is summed up , in this : 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself ;' ylt @Romans:13:10 @the love to the neighbor doth work no ill ; the love , therefore , [is ] the fulness of law . ylt @Romans: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 ; ylt @Romans: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 ; ylt @Romans: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 ; ylt @Romans:13:14 @but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ , and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires .
