Let{G5293} every{G3956} soul{G5590} be in subjection to{G5293} the higher{G5242} powers:{G1849} for{G1063} there is{G2076} no{G3756} power{G1849} {G1487} but{G3361} of{G575} God;{G2316} and the powers{G1849} that be{G5607} are{G1526} ordained{G5021} of{G5259} God.{G2316}

Therefore{G5620} he that resisteth{G498} the power,{G1849} withstandeth{G436} the ordinance{G1296} of God:{G2316} and{G1161} they that withstand{G436} shall receive{G2983} to themselves{G1438} judgment.{G2917}

For{G1063} rulers{G758} are{G1526} not{G3756} a terror{G5401} to{G2041} the good{G18} work,{G2041} but{G235} to{G2041} the evil.{G2556} And wouldest thou{G2309} have no{G3361} fear of{G5399} the power?{G1849} do{G4160} that which is good,{G18} and{G2532} thou shalt have{G2192} praise{G1868} from{G1537} the same:{G846}

for{G1063} he is{G2076} a minister{G1249} of God{G2316} to thee{G4671} for{G1519} good.{G18} But{G1161} if{G1437} thou do{G4160} that which is evil,{G2556} be afraid;{G5399} for{G1063} he beareth{G5409} not{G3756} the sword{G3162} in vain:{G1500} for{G1063} he is{G2076} a minister{G1249} of God,{G2316} an avenger{G1558} for wrath{G3709} to{G1519} him that doeth{G4238} evil.{G2556}

Wherefore{G1352} [ye] must needs{G318} be in subjection,{G5293} not{G3756} only{G3440} because{G1223} of the wrath,{G3709} but{G235} also{G2532} for{G1223} conscience' sake.{G4893}

{G1063} For{G1223} this cause{G5124} ye{G5055} pay tribute{G5411} also;{G2532} for{G1063} they are{G1526} ministers{G3011} of God's{G2316} service, attending continually{G4342} upon{G1519} this{G5124} very thing.{G846}

Render{G591} {G3767} to all{G3956} their dues:{G3782} tribute{G5411} to whom{G3588} tribute{G5411} [is due]; custom{G5056} to whom{G3588} custom;{G5056} fear{G5401} to whom{G3588} fear;{G5401} honor{G5092} to whom{G3588} honor.{G5092}

Owe{G3784} no man{G3367} anything,{G1487} save{G3361} to love{G25} one another:{G240} for{G1063} he that loveth{G25} his neighbor{G2087} hath fulfilled{G4137} the law.{G3551}

For{G1063} this,{G3588} Thou shalt{G3431} not{G3756} commit adultery,{G3431} Thou shalt{G5407} not{G3756} kill,{G5407} Thou shalt{G2813} not{G3756} steal,{G2813} Thou shalt{G5576} not{G3756} covet,{G1937} and{G2532} if{G1487} there be any{G5100} other{G2087} commandment,{G1785} it is summed{G346} up in{G1722} this{G5129} word,{G3056} namely,{G1722} Thou shalt love{G25} thy{G4675} neighbor{G4139} as{G5613} thyself.{G1438}

Love{G26} worketh{G2038} no{G3756} ill{G2556} to his neighbor:{G4139} love{G26} therefore{G3767} is the fulfilment{G4138} of the law.{G3551}

And{G2532} this,{G5124} knowing{G1492} the season,{G5610} that{G3754} already{G2235} it is time{G2540} for you{G2248} to awake{G1453} out of{G1537} sleep:{G5258} for{G1063} now{G3568} is {G2257} salvation{G4991} nearer{G1452} to us than{G2228} when{G3753} we [first] believed.{G4100}

The night{G3571} is far spent,{G1161} and the day{G2250} is at hand:{G1448} let us{G659} therefore{G3767} cast off{G659} the works{G2041} of darkness,{G4655} and{G2532} let us put on{G1746} the armor{G3696} of light.{G5457}

Let us walk{G4043} becomingly,{G2156} as{G5613} in{G1722} the day;{G2250} not{G3361} in revelling{G2970} and{G2532} drunkenness,{G3178} not{G3361} in chambering{G2845} and{G2532} wantonness,{G766} not{G3361} in strife{G2054} and{G2532} jealousy.{G2205}

But{G235} put ye on{G1746} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ,{G5547} and{G2532} make{G4160} not{G3361} provision{G4307} for the flesh,{G4561} to{G1519} [fulfil] the lusts{G1939} [thereof].
