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.
2
Whosoever
therefore
resisteth
the
power,
resisteth
the
ordinance
of
God:
and
they
that
resist
shall
receive
to
themselves
damnation.
3
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:
4
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.
5
Wherefore
[ye]
must
needs
be
subject,
not
only
for
wrath,
but
also
for
conscience
sake.
6
For
for
this
cause
pay
ye
tribute
also:
for
they
are
God’s
ministers,
attending
continually
upon
this
very
thing.
7
Render
therefore
to
all
their
dues:
tribute
to
whom
tribute
[is
due];
custom
to
whom
custom;
fear
to
whom
fear;
honour
to
whom
honour.
8
Owe
no
man
any
thing,
but
to
love
one
another:
for
he
that
loveth
another
hath
fulfilled
the
law.
9
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.
10
Love
worketh
no
ill
to
his
neighbour:
therefore
love
[is]
the
fulfilling
of
the
law.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Let
us
walk
honestly,
as
in
the
day;
not
in
rioting
and
drunkenness,
not
in
chambering
and
wantonness,
not
in
strife
and
envying.
14
But
put
ye
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
make
not
provision
for
the
flesh,
to
[fulfil]
the
lusts
[thereof].
