1 # Let every <3956> soul <5590> be subject <5293> (5732) unto the higher <5242> (5723) powers <1849>. For <1063> there is <2076> (5748) no <3756> power <1849> but <1508> of <575> God <2316> : <1161> the powers <1849> that be <5607> (5752) are <1526> (5748) ordained <5021> (5772) of <5259> God <2316>.
 - AUTHORITY OF MAN
2 Whosoever therefore <5620> resisteth <498> (5734) the power <1849>, resisteth <436> (5758) the ordinance <1296> of God <2316>: and <1161> they that resist <436> (5761) shall receive <2983> (5695) to themselves <1438> damnation <2917>.
3 For <1063> rulers <758> are <1526> (5748) not <3756> a terror <5401> to good <18> works <2041>, but <235> to the evil <2556>. Wilt thou <2309> (5719) then <1161> not <3361> be afraid <5399> (5738) of the power <1849>? do <4160> (5720) that which is good <18>, and <2532> thou shalt have <2192> (5692) praise <1868> of <1537> the same <846>:
4 For <1063> he is <2076> (5748) the minister <1249> of God <2316> to thee <4671> for <1519> good <18>. But <1161> if <1437> thou do <4160> (5725) that which is evil <2556>, be afraid <5399> (5737) ; for <1063> he beareth <5409> (5719) not <3756> the sword <3162> in vain <1500>: for <1063> he is <2076> (5748) the minister <1249> of God <2316>, a revenger <1558> to execute wrath <3709> upon <1519> him that doeth <4238> (5723) evil <2556>.
5 Wherefore <1352> ye must needs <318> be subject <5293> (5733), not <3756> only <3440> for <1223> wrath <3709>, but <235> also <2532> for conscience <4893> sake <1223>.
6 For <1063> for <1223> <0> this <5124> cause <1223> pay ye <5055> (5719) tribute <5411> also <2532>: for <1063> they are <1526> (5748) God's <2316> ministers <3011>, attending continually <4342> (5723) upon <1519> this <5124> very thing <846>.
7 # Render <591> (5628) therefore <3767> to all <3956> their dues <3782>: tribute <5411> to whom <3588> tribute <5411> is due; custom <5056> to whom <3588> custom <5056>; fear <5401> to whom <3588> fear <5401>; honour <5092> to whom <3588> honour <5092>.
8 Owe <3784> (5720) no man <3367> any thing <3367>, but <1508> to love <25> (5721) one another <240>: for <1063> he that loveth <25> (5723) another <2087> hath fulfilled <4137> (5758) the law <3551> .
9 For <1063> this, Thou shalt <3431> <0> not <3756> commit adultery <3431> (5692), Thou shalt <5407> <0> not <3756> kill <5407> (5692), Thou shalt <2813> <0> not <3756> steal <2813> (5692) , Thou shalt <5576> <0> not <3756> bear false witness <5576> (5692), Thou shalt <1937> <0> not <3756> covet <1937> (5692); and <2532> if there be any <1536> other <2087> commandment <1785>, it is briefly comprehended <346> (5743) in <1722> this <5129> saying <3056>, namely <1722>, Thou shalt love <25> (5692) thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <1438>.
10 Love <26> worketh <2038> (5736) no <3756> ill <2556> to his neighbour <4139>: therefore <3767> love <26> is the fulfilling <4138> of the law <3551>.
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE
11 # And <2532> that <5124>, knowing <1492> (5761) the time <2540>, that <3754> now <2235> it is high time <5610> to awake <2248> <1453> (5683) out of <1537> sleep <5258>: for <1063> now <3568> is our <2257> salvation <4991> nearer <1452> than <2228> when <3753> we believed <4100> (5656) .
 - KAIROS - TIME
12 The night <3571> is far spent <4298> (5656), <1161> the day <2250> is at hand <1448> (5758) : let us <659> <0> therefore <3767> cast off <659> (5643) the works <2041> of darkness <4655>, and <2532> let us put on <1746> (5672) the armour <3696> of light <5457>.
13 Let us walk <4043> (5661) honestly <2156>, as <5613> in <1722> the day <2250>; not <3361> in rioting <2970> and <2532> drunkenness <3178>, not <3361> in chambering <2845> and <2532> wantonness <766> , not <3361> in strife <2054> and <2532> envying <2205>.
14 But <235> put ye on <1746> (5669) the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <2532> make <4160> (5732) not <3361> provision <4307> for <1519> the flesh <4561>, to fulfil the lusts <1939> thereof.
