KJV_Strong : Romans 13
1. Let every[G3956] soul[G5590] be subject[G5293] unto the higher[G5242] powers.[G1849] For[G1063] there is[G2076] no[G3756] power[G1849] but[G1508] of[G575] God:[G2316] [G1161] the[G3588] powers[G1849] that be[G5607] are[G1526] ordained[G5021] of[G5259] God.[G2316]
2. Whosoever therefore resisteth[G498] [G5620] the[G3588] power,[G1849] resisteth[G436] the[G3588] ordinance[G1296] of God:[G2316] and[G1161] they that resist[G436] shall receive[G2983] to themselves[G1438] damnation.[G2917]
3. For[G1063] rulers[G758] are[G1526] not[G3756] a terror[G5401] to good[G18] works,[G2041] but[G235] to the[G3588] evil.[G2556] Wilt[G2309] thou then[G1161] not[G3361] be afraid[G5399] of the[G3588] power?[G1849] do[G4160] that which is good,[G18] and[G2532] thou shalt have[G2192] praise[G1868] of[G1537] the same: [G846]
4. For[G1063] he is[G2076] the 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[G3588] sword[G3162] in vain:[G1500] for[G1063] he is[G2076] the minister[G1249] of God,[G2316] a revenger[G1558] to[G1519] execute wrath[G3709] upon him that doeth[G4238] evil.[G2556]
5. Wherefore[G1352] ye must needs[G318] be subject,[G5293] not[G3756] only[G3440] for[G1223] wrath,[G3709] but[G235] also[G2532] for conscience sake.[G1223] [G4893]
6. For[G1063] for this cause[G1223] [G5124] pay[G5055] ye tribute[G5411] also:[G2532] for[G1063] they are[G1526] God's[G2316] ministers,[G3011] attending continually[G4342] upon[G1519] this very thing.[G5124] [G846]
7. Render[G591] therefore[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]
8. Owe[G3784] no man[G3367] any thing,[G3367] but[G1508] to love[G25] one another:[G240] for[G1063] he that loveth[G25] another[G2087] hath fulfilled[G4137] the law.[G3551]
9. For[G1063] this,[G3588] Thou shalt not[G3756] commit adultery,[G3431] Thou shalt not[G3756] kill,[G5407] Thou shalt not[G3756] steal,[G2813] Thou shalt not[G3756] bear false witness,[G5576] Thou shalt not[G3756] covet;[G1937] and[G2532] if there be any[G1536] other[G2087] commandment,[G1785] it is briefly comprehended[G346] in[G1722] this[G5129] saying,[G3056] namely,[G1722] [G3588] Thou shalt love[G25] thy[G4675] neighbor[G4139] as[G5613] thyself.[G1438]
10. Love[G26] worketh[G2038] no[G3756] ill[G2556] to his neighbor:[G4139] therefore[G3767] love[G26] is the fulfilling[G4138] of the law.[G3551]
11. And[G2532] that,[G5124] knowing[G1492] the[G3588] time,[G2540] that[G3754] now[G2235] it is high time[G5610] to[G2248] awake[G1453] out of[G1537] sleep:[G5258] for[G1063] now[G3568] is our[G2257] salvation[G4991] nearer[G1452] than[G2228] when[G3753] we believed.[G4100]
12. The[G3588] night[G3571] is far spent,[G4298] [G1161] the[G3588] day[G2250] is at hand:[G1448] let us therefore[G3767] cast off[G659] the[G3588] works[G2041] of darkness,[G4655] and[G2532] let us put on[G1746] the[G3588] armor[G3696] of light.[G5457]
13. Let us walk[G4043] honestly,[G2156] as[G5613] in[G1722] the day;[G2250] not[G3361] in rioting[G2970] and[G2532] drunkenness,[G3178] not[G3361] in chambering[G2845] and[G2532] wantonness,[G766] not[G3361] in strife[G2054] and[G2532] envying.[G2205]
14. But[G235] put ye on[G1746] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] and[G2532] make[G4160] not[G3361] provision[G4307] for the[G3588] flesh,[G4561] to fulfill the[G1519] lusts[G1939] thereof.
