  13:1 ¶
LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted. |
|
13:1
Let every soul be subject to the authorities of magistracy. For there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist, are established by God. |
|
13:2
Whoever then riseth up against the power, against the institution of Aloha he riseth; and they who arise against them will receive judgment. |
|
13:2
He therefore who opposeth the authority, opposeth the establishment of God; and they who oppose them, shall receive judgment. |
|
13:3
For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him. |
|
13:3
For judges are not a terror to good deeds, but to evil deeds. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the authority? Do good, and thou shalt have praise from it. |
|
13:4
For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil. |
|
13:4
For he is the minister of God; but it is to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he is not girded with the sword in vain; for he is a minister of God, and an avenger of wrath to them that do evil things. |
|
13:5
And because of this are we bound to be subject, not for the wrath only, but also because of conscience. |
|
13:5
And therefore, it is necessary for us to be obedient, not only on account of wrath, but likewise on account of our consciences. |
|
13:6
On this account also give we tribute to them; for they are the servants of Aloha over these things constituted. |
|
13:6
For this cause also ye pay tribute money; for they are the ministers of God, established for these same objects. |
|
13:7
Render therefore to every man as is due to him: to whom tribute (is due,) tribute; and to whom custom, custom; and to whom reverence, reverence; and to whom honour, honour. |
|
13:7
Render therefore to every one, as is due to him; tribute-money, to whom tribute-money; and excise, to whom excise; and fear, to whom fear; and honor, to whom honor. |
|
13:8
And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law: |
|
13:8
And owe nothing to any one; but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbor, hath fulfilled the law. |
|
13:9
for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
|
13:9
For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
|
13:10
Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |
|
13:10
Love doeth no evil to one's neighbor; because love is the fulfillment of the law. |
|
13:11 ¶
AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed. |
|
13:11
And this also know ye, that it is the time and the hour, that we should henceforth be awake from our sleep. For now our life hath come nearer to us, than when we believed. |
|
13:12
The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light. |
|
13:12
The night now passeth away, and the day draweth near. Let us therefore cast from us the works of darkness; and let us put on the armor of light. |
|
13:13
And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention; |
|
13:13
And let us walk decorously, as in daylight; not in merriment, nor in drunkenness, nor in impurity of the bed, nor in envy and strife. |
|
13:14
but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof). |
|
13:14
But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites. |
