\subsection{Romans 13}
|
|
\VS{1} Let\fnImperative{} every psyche-life\fnPsyche{} be being subject to the higher
|
|
authorities. For there is no authority except from God --- the authorities
|
|
that be are designated by God,
|
|
\VS{2} so the [one] opposing the authority resists
|
|
the ordinance of God. But the [one] having resisted will receive judgment to
|
|
himself.
|
|
\VS{3} For the rulers are not [a] fear to the good work, but to the
|
|
evil. So do you wish to not be fearing the authority? Be doing the good, and
|
|
you will have praise from [the] same.
|
|
\VS{4} For he is [a] servant of God to you for
|
|
the good. So if you do the evil, be fearing, for he does not bear the sword
|
|
without cause. For he is [a] servant of God, avenger to [execute] wrath upon the [one] practicing evil.
|
|
\VS{5} Therefore [it is] necessary to be being subject, not
|
|
only because of wrath, but also because of conscience.
|
|
\VS{6} Because of
|
|
this, be paying tribute also, for they are ministers of God, being busily
|
|
engaged in this same [thing].
|
|
\VS{7} Repay to everyone [your] obligations, tribute to
|
|
whom tribute [is due], tax to whom tax, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
|
|
\VS{8} Be obligated anything to \negd{no one}, except to be
|
|
agape-loving one another. For the [one] agape-loving another has fulfilled [the] law.
|
|
\VS{9} For the: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You
|
|
shall not steal, You shall not desire\footnote{i.e. ``covet''}, and if any
|
|
other commandment, in this word is it summed up, in the: You will agape-love
|
|
your neighbor as yourself.
|
|
\VS{10} Agape-love works [your] neighbor no evil.
|
|
Therefore agape-love is [the] fulfillment of [the] law.
|
|
\VS{11} And therefore having
|
|
known the opportune-time\fnKairos{}, that the hour already [is] for you to be raised from
|
|
sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
|
|
\VS{12} The
|
|
night is far spent, the day is at hand. Let us therefore put off the works
|
|
of darkness, and let us put on the weapons\footnote{or ``armor''} of light.
|
|
\VS{13} Let us walk becomingly as in the day, not in partying and
|
|
drunkenness, not in sex and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.
|
|
\VS{14} But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be not making provision for
|
|
the flesh, for [its] desires.
