1 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.

<>v. 1, <>there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God, <>ordained

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 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:

<>For rulers are not a terror to good works, <>rulers, <>good works, <>works … evil

4 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.

<>he beareth … the sword

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

<>pay ye tribute, <>tribute, <>God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

<>Render therefore to all their dues, <>Render therefore to all their dues: … fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour., <>honour … honour

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

<>Owe no man any thing, <>love one another, <>he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law

9 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.

<>Thou shalt not commit adultery, <>Thou shalt not kill, <>Thou shalt not steal, <>Thou shalt not bear false witness, <>Thou shalt not covet, <>Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11 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.

<>now it is high time to awake out of sleep, <>now is our salvation nearer

12 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.

<>The night is far spent, the day is at hand, <>the day is at hand, <>cast off the works of darkness, <>put on the armour of light, <>armour

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

<>Let us walk honestly, <>not in rioting and drunkenness, <>not in rioting, <>not in … drunkenness, <>not in chambering and wantonness, <>not in strife and envying, <>strife, <>envying

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

<>put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, <>make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof, <>lusts
