新约 -- 罗马书(Romans) -- 第 13 章 ( 本篇共有 16 章 )
13:1	在上有权柄的，人人当顺服他。因为没有权柄不是出于神的。凡掌权的都是神所命的。 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.
13:2	所以抗拒掌权的，就是抗拒神的命。抗拒的必自取刑罚 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
13:3	作官的原不是叫行善的惧怕，乃是叫作恶的惧怕。你愿意不惧怕掌权的吗。你只要行善，就可得他的称赞。 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
13:4	因为他是神的用人，是与你有益的。你若作恶，却当惧怕。因为他不是空空的佩剑。他是神的用人，是伸冤的，刑罚那作恶的。 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
13:5	所以你们必须顺服，不但是因为刑罚，也是因为良心。 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
13:6	你们纳粮，也为这缘故。因他们是神的差役，常常特管这事。 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
13:7	凡人所当得的，就给他。当得粮的，给他纳粮。当得税的，给他上税。当惧怕的，惧怕他。当恭敬的，恭敬他。 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
13:8	凡事都不可亏欠人，惟有彼此相爱，要常以为亏欠。因为爱人的就完全了律法。 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
13:9	像那不可奸淫，不可杀人，不可偷盗，不可贪婪，或有别的诫命，都包在爱人如己这一句话之内了。 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
13:10	爱是不加害与人的，所以爱就完全了律法。 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
13:11	再者，你们晓得现今就是该趁早睡醒的时候，因为我们得救，现今比初信的时候更近了。 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
13:12	黑夜已深，白昼将近。我们就当脱去暗昧的行为，带上光明的兵器。 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13:13	行事为人要端正，好像行在白昼。不可荒宴醉酒。不可好色邪荡。不可争竞嫉妒。 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
13:14	总要披戴主耶稣基督，不要为肉体安排，去放纵私欲。 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
