| 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, | 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. | Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him. |
| 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. | Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. | Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves. |
| 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, | 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: | For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire do you not? to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you. |
| 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. | 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. | For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers. |
| Romans 13:5 | Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, | Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. | We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake. |
| Romans 13:6 | for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually; | For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. | Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work. |
| 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. | Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. | Pay promptly to all men what is due to them: taxes to those to whom taxes are due, toll to those to whom toll is due, respect to those to whom respect is due, honour to those to whom honour is due. |
| Romans 13:8 | To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other law he hath fulfilled, | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. | Owe nothing to any one except mutual love; for he who loves his fellow man has satisfied the demands of Law. |
| 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;` | 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. | For the precepts, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt do no murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command, "Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thou lovest thyself." |
| Romans 13:10 | the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of law. | Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. | Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law. |
| 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; | 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. | Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers. |
| 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; | 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. | The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with the armour of Light. |
| 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; | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. | Living as we do in broad daylight, let us conduct ourselves becomingly, not indulging in revelry and drunkenness, nor in lust and debauchery, nor in quarrelling and jealousy. |
| Romans 13:14 | but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought for desires. | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. | On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings. |
