Romans 13:1-14

13:1

Let every
<3956>

soul
<5590>

be subject
<5293> (5732)

unto the higher
<5242> (5723)

powers
<1849>_.

For
<1063>

there is
<2076> (5748)

no
<3756>

power
<1849>

but
<1508>

of
<575>

God
<2316>_:

<1161>

the powers
<1849>

that be
<5607> (5752)

are
<1526> (5748)

ordained
<5021> (5772)

of
<5259>

God
<2316>_.

{ordained: or, ordered}

13:2

Whosoever therefore
<5620>

resisteth
<498> (5734)

the power
<1849>_,

resisteth
<436> (5758)

the ordinance
<1296>

of God
<2316>_:

and
<1161>

they that resist
<436> (5761)

shall receive
<2983> (5695)

to themselves
<1438>

damnation
<2917>_.

13:3

For
<1063>

rulers
<758>

are
<1526> (5748)

not
<3756>

a terror
<5401>

to good
<18>

works
<2041>_,

but
<235>

to the evil
<2556>_.

Wilt thou
<2309> (5719)

then
<1161>

not
<3361>

be afraid
<5399> (5738)

of the power
<1849>_?

do
<4160> (5720)

that which is good
<18>_,

and
<2532>

thou shalt have
<2192> (5692)

praise
<1868>

of
<1537>

the same
<846>_:

13:4

For
<1063>

he is
<2076> (5748)

the minister
<1249>

of God
<2316>

to thee
<4671>

for
<1519>

good
<18>_.

But
<1161>

if
<1437>

thou do
<4160> (5725)

that which is evil
<2556>_,

be afraid
<5399> (5732) (5737)_;

for
<1063>

he beareth
<5409> (5719)

not
<3756>

the sword
<3162>

in vain
<1500>_:

for
<1063>

he is
<2076> (5748)

the minister
<1249>

of God
<2316>_,

a revenger
<1558>

to [execute] wrath
<3709>

upon
<1519>

him that doeth
<4238> (5723)

evil
<2556>_.

13:5

Wherefore
<1352>

[ye] must needs
<318>

be subject
<5293> (5733)_,

not
<3756>

only
<3440>

for
<1223>

wrath
<3709>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

for conscience
<4893>

sake
<1223>_.

13:6

For
<1063>

for
<1223> (0)

this
<5124>

cause
<1223>

pay ye
<5055> (5719)

tribute
<5411>

also
<2532>_:

for
<1063>

they are
<1526> (5748)

God's
<2316>

ministers
<3011>_,

attending continually
<4342> (5723)

upon
<1519>

this
<5124>

very thing
<846>_.

13:7

Render
<591> (5628)

therefore
<3767>

to all
<3956>

their dues
<3782>_:

tribute
<5411>

to whom
<3588>

tribute
<5411>

[is due]; custom
<5056>

to whom
<3588>

custom
<5056>_;

fear
<5401>

to whom
<3588>

fear
<5401>_;

honour
<5092>

to whom
<3588>

honour
<5092>_.

13:8

Owe
<3784> (5720)

no man
<3367>

any thing
<3367>_,

but
<1508>

to love
<25> (5721)

one another
<240>_:

for
<1063>

he that loveth
<25> (5723)

another
<2087>

hath fulfilled
<4137> (5758)

the law
<3551>_.

13:9

For
<1063>

this, Thou shalt
<3431> (0)

not
<3756>

commit adultery
<3431> (5692)_,

Thou shalt
<5407> (0)

not
<3756>

kill
<5407> (5692)_,

Thou shalt
<2813> (0)

not
<3756>

steal
<2813> (5692)_,

Thou shalt
<5576> (0)

not
<3756>

bear false witness
<5576> (5692)_,

Thou shalt
<1937> (0)

not
<3756>

covet
<1937> (5692)_;

and
<2532>

if [there be] any
<1536>

other
<2087>

commandment
<1785>_,

it is briefly comprehended
<346> (5743)

in
<1722>

this
<5129>

saying
<3056>_,

namely
<1722>_,

Thou shalt love
<25> (5692)

thy
<4675>

neighbour
<4139>

as
<5613>

thyself
<1438>_.

13:10

Love
<26>

worketh
<2038> (5736)

no
<3756>

ill
<2556>

to his neighbour
<4139>_:

therefore
<3767>

love
<26>

[is] the fulfilling
<4138>

of the law
<3551>_.

13:11

And
<2532>

that
<5124>_,

knowing
<1492> (5761)

the time
<2540>_,

that
<3754>

now
<2235>

[it is] high time
<5610>

to awake
<2248> <1453> (5683)

out of
<1537>

sleep
<5258>_:

for
<1063>

now
<3568>

[is] our
<2257>

salvation
<4991>

nearer
<1452>

than
<2228>

when
<3753>

we believed
<4100> (5656)_.

13:12

The night
<3571>

is far spent
<4298> (5656)_,

<1161>

the day
<2250>

is at hand
<1448> (5758)_:

let us
<659> (0)

therefore
<3767>

cast off
<659> (5643)

the works
<2041>

of darkness
<4655>_,

and
<2532>

let us put on
<1746> (5672)

the armour
<3696>

of light
<5457>_.

13:13

Let us walk
<4043> (5661)

honestly
<2156>_,

as
<5613>

in
<1722>

the day
<2250>_;

not
<3361>

in rioting
<2970>

and
<2532>

drunkenness
<3178>_,

not
<3361>

in chambering
<2845>

and
<2532>

wantonness
<766>_,

not
<3361>

in strife
<2054>

and
<2532>

envying
<2205>_.

{honestly: or, decently}

13:14

But
<235>

put ye on
<1746> (5669)

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

and
<2532>

make
<4160> (5732)

not
<3361>

provision
<4307>

for
<1519>

the flesh
<4561>_,

to [fulfil] the lusts
<1939>

[thereof].
