Rm 13:1Omnis anima potestātibus sublīmiōribus subdita sit: nōn est enim potestās nisi ā Deō: quae autem sunt, ā Deō ōrdinātae sunt.Let every soul be subject to the higher powers: for there is no power except from God: and those which exist have been ordained by God. Rm 13:2Itaque quī resistit potestātī, Deī ōrdinātiōnī resistit.And so he who resists the power, resists the ordinance of God. Rm 13:2Quī autem resistunt, ipsī sibi damnātiōnem acquīrunt: nam prīncipēs nōn sunt timōrī bonī operis, sed malī.And those who resist, acquire condemnation for themselves: for rulers are not a terror to good work, but to evil. Rm 13:3Vīs autem nōn timēre potestātem?But do you wish not to fear the power? Rm 13:3Bonum fac: et habēbis laudem ex illā: Deī enim minister est tibi in bonum.Do good: and you will have praise from it: for it is God's minister to you for good. Rm 13:4Sī autem malum fēceris, timē: nōn enim sine causā gladium portat.But if you do evil, fear: for not without cause does it bear the sword. Rm 13:4Deī enim minister est: vindex in īram eī quī malum agit.For it is God's minister: an avenger unto anger for him who does evil.
Rm 13:5Ideō necessitāte subditī estōte nōn sōlum propter īram, sed etiam propter cōnscientiam.Therefore be subject by necessity, not only on account of anger, but also on account of conscience. Rm 13:6Ideō enim et tribūta praestātis: ministrī enim Deī sunt, in hoc ipsum servientēs.For therefore you also pay tributes: for they are ministers of God, serving in this very thing. Rm 13:7Reddite ergō omnibus dēbita: cui tribūtum, tribūtum: cui vectīgal, vectīgal: cui timōrem, timōrem: cui honōrem, honōrem.Render therefore to all what is owed: to whom tribute, tribute: to whom tax, tax: to whom fear, fear: to whom honour, honour. Rm 13:8Nēminī quidquam dēbeātis, nisi ut invicem dīligātis: quī enim dīligit proximum, lēgem implēvit.Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another: for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. Rm 13:9Nam: Nōn adulterābis: nōn occīdēs: nōn fūrāberis: nōn falsum testimōnium dīcēs: nōn concupīscēs: et sī quod est aliud mandātum, in hōc verbō īnstaurātur: dīligēs proximum tuum sīcut tēipsum.For: "You shall not commit adultery: you shall not kill: you shall not steal: you shall not speak false testimony: you shall not desire": and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."
Rm 13:10Dīlēctiō proximī malum nōn operātur.The love of a neighbour does not work evil. Rm 13:10Plēnitūdō ergō lēgis est dīlēctiō.The fullness of the law therefore is love. Rm 13:11Et hoc scientēs tempus: quia hōra est jam nōs dē somnō surgere.And this, knowing the time: that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. Rm 13:11Nunc enim propior est nostra salūs, quam cum crēdidimus.For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Rm 13:12Nox praecessit, diēs autem appropinquāvit.The night has gone before, and the day has drawn near. Rm 13:12Abjiciāmus ergō opera tenebrārum, et induāmur arma lūcis.Let us cast off therefore the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light. Rm 13:13Sīcut in diē honestē ambulēmus: nōn in cōmessātiōnibus, et ēbrietātibus, nōn in cubīlibus, et impudīcitiīs, nōn in contentiōne, et aemulātiōne: sed induiminī Dominum Jēsum Chrīstum, et carnis cūram nē fēcerītis in dēsīderiīs.As in the day let us walk honourably: not in revellings, and drunkennesses, not in beds, and shamelessness, not in strife, and rivalry: but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not make provision for the flesh in its desires.
