Chapter 13
Paul counsels, Be subject unto God’s ministers; keep the commandments; love one another; righteousness leads to salvation.
1. 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.
1.
2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that
resist shall receive to themselves
damnation.
2.
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:
3.
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.
4.
5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake.
5.
6.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
6.
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.
7.
8.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that
loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
8.
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.
9.
10.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the
law.
10.
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.
11.
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.
12.
13. Let us walk
honestly, as in the day; not in
rioting and
drunkenness, not in
chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying.
13.
14. But
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the
lusts thereof.
