13:1
omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit non estenim potestas nisi a Deo quae autem sunt a Deo ordinatae sunt

13:2
itaque qui resistit potestati Dei ordinationi resistit quiautem resistunt ipsi sibi damnationem adquirunt

13:3
nam principes non sunt timori boni operis sed mali visautem non timere potestatem bonum fac et habebis laudem ex illa

13:4
Dei enim minister est tibi in bonum si autem male feceristime non enim sine causa gladium portat Dei enim minister estvindex in iram ei qui malum agit

13:5
ideo necessitate subditi estote non solum propter iram sedet propter conscientiam

13:6
ideo enim et tributa praestatis ministri enim Dei sunt inhoc ipsum servientes

13:7
reddite omnibus debita cui tributum tributum cui vectigalvectigal cui timorem timorem cui honorem honorem

13:8
nemini quicquam debeatis nisi ut invicem diligatis qui enimdiligit proximum legem implevit

13:9
nam non adulterabis non occides non furaberis nonconcupisces et si quod est aliud mandatum in hoc verboinstauratur diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum

13:10
dilectio proximo malum non operatur plenitudo ergo legisest dilectio

13:11
et hoc scientes tempus quia hora est iam nos de somnosurgere nunc enim propior est nostra salus quam cum credidimus

13:12
nox praecessit dies autem adpropiavit abiciamus ergo operatenebrarum et induamur arma lucis

13:13
sicut in die honeste ambulemus non in comesationibus etebrietatibus non in cubilibus et inpudicitiis non incontentione et aemulatione

13:14
sed induite Dominum Iesum Christum et carnis curam nefeceritis in desideriis

013:001
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.

013:002
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

013:003
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:

013:004
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.

013:005
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

013:006
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

013:007
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

013:008
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

013:009
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.

013:010
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

013:011
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.

013:012
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.

013:013
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

013:014
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
