ROMANS
Chapter 13
Roma | Etheridg | 13:1 | LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:2 | Whoever then riseth up against the power, against the institution of Aloha he riseth; and they who arise against them will receive judgment. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:3 | For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:4 | For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:5 | And because of this are we bound to be subject, not for the wrath only, but also because of conscience. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:6 | On this account also give we tribute to them; for they are the servants of Aloha over these things constituted. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:7 | Render therefore to every man as is due to him: to whom tribute (is due,) tribute; and to whom custom, custom; and to whom reverence, reverence; and to whom honour, honour. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:8 | And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law: | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:9 | for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:10 | Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:11 | AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:12 | The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light. | |
Roma | Etheridg | 13:13 | And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention; | |
