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;
Roma Etheridg 13:14  but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof).
