The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans

Geneva Bible :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 13 -

(1 Peter 2:13–20)
1
Let euery soule be subiect vnto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordeined of God.
2
Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues condemnation.
3
For Magistrates are not to be feared for good workes, but for euill. Wilt thou then bee without feare of the power? doe well: so shalt thou haue praise of the same.
4
For he is ye minister of God for thy wealth, but if thou do euill, feare: for he beareth not the sworde for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth euill.
5
Wherefore ye must bee subiect, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake.
6
For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are Gods ministers, applying themselues for the same thing.
7
Giue to all men therefore their duetie: tribute, to whome yee owe tribute: custome, to whom custome: feare, to whome feare: honour, to whom ye owe honour.

Love Fulfills the Law

(Leviticus 19:9–18)
8
Owe nothing to any man, but to loue one another: for he that loueth another, hath fulfilled the Lawe.
9
For this, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Thou shalt not couet: and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, euen in this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
10
Loue doeth not euill to his neighbour: therefore is loue the fulfilling of the Lawe.

The Day Is Near

11
And that, considering the season, that it is now time that we should arise from sleepe: for now is our saluation neerer, then when we beleeued it.
12
The night is past, and the day is at hande, let vs therefore cast away the workes of darkenesse, and let vs put on the armour of light,
13
So that wee walke honestly, as in the day: not in gluttonie, and drunkennesse, neither in chambering and wantonnes, nor in strife and enuying.
14
But put yee on the Lord JESUS CHRIST, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it.
(1 Peter 2:13–20)
1
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2
Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
4
for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5
Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for consciencesake.
6
For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
7
Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Love Fulfills the Law

(Leviticus 19:9–18)
8
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”(a)You shall not covet,” (b) and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(c)
10
Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

The Day Is Near

11
Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
12
The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
13
Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
