1: Every_G3956 soul_G5590 to the authorities_G1849 being above [him]_G5242 let be subject._G5293 Not_G3756 for_G1063 there is_G1510 authority,_G1849 if_G1487 not_G3361 by_G5259 God;_G2316 those_G3588 however_G1161 existing,_G1510 by_G5259 God_G2316 having been instituted_G5021 are._G1510

2: Therefore_G5620 the [one]_G3588 resisting_G0498 the_G3588 authority,_G1849 the_G3588 -_G3588 of God_G2316 ordinance_G1296 has resisted;_G0436 those_G3588 now_G1161 having resisted_G0436 upon themselves_G1438 judgment_G2917 will bring._G2983

3: The_G3588 for_G1063 rulers_G0758 not_G3756 are_G1510 a terror_G5401 -_G3588 to good_G0018 works,_G2041 but_G0235 -_G3588 to evil._G2556 Do you desire_G2309 now_G1161 not_G3361 to fear_G5399 the_G3588 authority?_G1849 The_G3588 good_G0018 do,_G4160 and_G2532 you will have_G2192 praise_G1868 from_G1537 him._G0846

4: Of God_G2316 for_G1063 servant_G1249 he is_G1510 to you_G4771 for_G1519 -_G3588 good._G0018 If_G1437 however_G1161 -_G3588 evil_G2556 you do,_G4160 be afraid,_G5399 not_G3756 for_G1063 in vain_G1500 the_G3588 sword_G3162 he bears;_G5409 of God_G2316 for_G1063 a servant_G1249 He is,_G1510 an avenger_G1558 for_G1519 wrath_G3709 to the [one]_G3588 -_G3588 evil_G2556 doing._G4238

5: Therefore_G1352 necessary [it is]_G0318 to be subject,_G5293 not_G3756 only_G3440 on account of_G1223 the_G3588 wrath,_G3709 but_G0235 also_G2532 on account of_G1223 the_G3588 conscience._G4893

6: Because of_G1223 this_G3778 for,_G1063 also_G2532 taxes_G5411 pay you;_G5055 servants_G3011 for_G1063 of God_G2316 they are,_G1510 upon_G1519 this very_G0846 thing_G3778 attending continually._G4342

7: Render_G0591 to all_G3956 their_G3588 dues,_G3782 to whom_G3588 the_G3588 tax,_G5411 the_G3588 tax;_G5411 to whom_G3588 the_G3588 revenue,_G5056 the_G3588 revenue;_G5056 to whom_G3588 the_G3588 respect,_G5401 the_G3588 respect;_G5401 to whom_G3588 the_G3588 honor,_G5092 the_G3588 honor._G5092

8: To no one_G3367 nothing_G3367 owe,_G3784 if_G1487 not_G3361 -_G3588 one another_G0240 to love;_G0025 the [one]_G3588 for_G1063 loving_G0025 the_G3588 other,_G2087 [the] Law_G3551 has fulfilled._G4137

9: -_G3588 For,_G1063 Not_G3756 you shall commit adultery,_G3431 Not_G3756 you shall murder,_G5407 Not_G3756 you shall steal,_G2813 Not_G3756 you shall covet,_G1937 and_G2532 if_G1487 any_G5100 other_G2087 commandment,_G1785 in_G1722 the_G3588 word_G3056 this_G3778 it is summed up,_G0346 in_G1722 the [saying]:_G3588 You shall love_G0025 the_G3588 neighbor_G4139 of you_G4771 as_G5613 yourself._G4572

10: -_G3588 Love_G0026 to the_G3588 neighbor_G4139 evil_G2556 not_G3756 does do;_G2038 [the] fulfillment_G4138 therefore_G3767 of [the] law_G3551 -_G3588 love [is]._G0026

11: And_G2532 this,_G3778 knowing_G1492 the_G3588 time,_G2540 that [it is the]_G3754 hour_G5610 already_G2235 for you_G4771 out of_G1537 sleep_G5258 to awaken;_G1453 now_G3568 for_G1063 nearer_G1452 [is] of us_G1473 the_G3588 salvation_G4991 than_G2228 when first_G3753 we believed._G4100

12: The_G3588 night_G3571 is nearly over,_G4298 -_G3588 and_G1161 the day_G2250 has drawn near._G1448 We should cast off_G0659 therefore_G3767 the_G3588 works_G2041 -_G3588 of darkness;_G4655 we should put on_G1746 now_G1161 the_G3588 armor_G3696 -_G3588 of light._G5457

13: As_G5613 in_G1722 daytime,_G2250 properly_G2156 we should walk,_G4043 not_G3361 in reveling_G2970 and_G2532 drinking,_G3178 not_G3361 in sexual immorality_G2845 and_G2532 sensuality,_G0766 not_G3361 in dissension_G2054 and_G2532 jealousy._G2205

14: But_G0235 put on_G1746 the_G3588 Lord_G2962 Jesus_G2424 Christ,_G5547 and_G2532 of the_G3588 flesh_G4561 provision_G4307 not_G3361 make_G4160 for_G1519 desires._G1939
