Romans 13 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.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G3956 Let every G5590 soul G5293 be subject [G5732] G5242 unto the higher [G5723] G1849 powers G1063 . For G2076 there is [G5748] G3756 no G1849 power G1508 but G575 of G2316 God G1161 : G1849 the powers G5607 that be [G5752] G1526 are [G5748] G5021 ordained [G5772] G5259 of G2316 God.

2 G5620 Whosoever therefore G498 resisteth [G5734] G1849 the power G436 , resisteth [G5758] G1296 the ordinance G2316 of God G1161 : and G436 they that resist [G5761] G2983 shall receive [G5695] G1438 to themselves G2917 damnation.

3 G1063 For G758 rulers G1526 are [G5748] G3756 not G5401 a terror G18 to good G2041 works G235 , but G2556 to the evil G2309 . Wilt thou [G5719] G1161 then G3361 not G5399 be afraid [G5738] G1849 of the power G4160 ? do [G5720] G18 that which is good G2532 , and G2192 thou shalt have [G5692] G1868 praise G1537 of G846 the same:

4 G1063 For G2076 he is [G5748] G1249 the minister G2316 of God G4671 to thee G1519 for G18 good G1161 . But G1437 if G4160 thou do [G5725] G2556 that which is evil G5399 , be afraid [G5737] G1063 ; for G5409 he beareth [G5719] G3756 not G3162 the sword G1500 in vain G1063 : for G2076 he is [G5748] G1249 the minister G2316 of God G1558 , a revenger G3709 to execute wrath G1519 upon G4238 him that doeth [G5723] G2556 evil.

5 G1352 Wherefore G318 ye must needs G5293 be subject [G5733] G3756 , not G3440 only G1223 for G3709 wrath G235 , but G2532 also G4893 for conscience G1223 sake.

6 G1063 For G1223 for G5124 this G1223 cause G5055 pay ye [G5719] G5411 tribute G2532 also G1063 : for G1526 they are [G5748] G2316 God's G3011 ministers G4342 , attending continually [G5723] G1519 upon G5124 this G846 very thing.

7 G591 Render [G5628] G3767 therefore G3956 to all G3782 their dues G5411 : tribute G3588 to whom G5411 tribute G5056 is due; custom G3588 to whom G5056 custom G5401 ; fear G3588 to whom G5401 fear G5092 ; honour G3588 to whom G5092 honour.

8 G3784 Owe [G5720] G3367 no man G3367 any thing G1508 , but G25 to love [G5721] G240 one another G1063 : for G25 he that loveth [G5723] G2087 another G4137 hath fulfilled [G5758] G3551 the law.

9 G1063 For G3431 this, Thou shalt G3756 not G3431 commit adultery [G5692] G5407 , Thou shalt G3756 not G5407 kill [G5692] G2813 , Thou shalt G3756 not G2813 steal [G5692] G5576 , Thou shalt G3756 not G5576 bear false witness [G5692] G1937 , Thou shalt G3756 not G1937 covet [G5692] G2532 ; and G1536 if there be any G2087 other G1785 commandment G346 , it is briefly comprehended [G5743] G1722 in G5129 this G3056 saying G1722 , namely G25 , Thou shalt love [G5692] G4675 thy G4139 neighbour G5613 as G1438 thyself.

10 G26 Love G2038 worketh [G5736] G3756 no G2556 ill G4139 to his neighbour G3767 : therefore G26 love G4138 is the fulfilling G3551 of the law.

11 G2532 And G5124 that G1492 , knowing [G5761] G2540 the time G3754 , that G2235 now G5610 it is high time G2248 to awake G1453 [G5683] G1537 out of G5258 sleep G1063 : for G3568 now G2257 is our G4991 salvation G1452 nearer G2228 than G3753 when G4100 we believed [G5656] .

12 G3571 The night G4298 is far spent [G5656] G1161 , G2250 the day G1448 is at hand [G5758] G659 : let us G3767 therefore G659 cast off [G5643] G2041 the works G4655 of darkness G2532 , and G1746 let us put on [G5672] G3696 the armour G5457 of light.

13 G4043 Let us walk [G5661] G2156 honestly G5613 , as G1722 in G2250 the day G3361 ; not G2970 in rioting G2532 and G3178 drunkenness G3361 , not G2845 in chambering G2532 and G766 wantonness G3361 , not G2054 in strife G2532 and G2205 envying.

14 G235 But G1746 put ye on [G5669] G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2532 , and G4160 make [G5732] G3361 not G4307 provision G1519 for G4561 the flesh G1939 , to fulfil the lusts thereof .
