Romans 13

King James Bible	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
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.	¹ Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit : non est enim potestas nisi a Deo : quæ autem sunt, a Deo ordinatæ sunt.
² Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.	² Itaque qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit. Qui autem resistunt, ipsi sibi damnationem acquirunt :
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:	³ nam principes non sunt timori boni operis, sed mali. Vis autem non timere potestatem ? Bonum fac : et habebis laudem ex illa :
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.	⁴ Dei enim minister est tibi in bonum. Si autem malum feceris, time : non enim sine causa gladium portat. Dei enim minister est : vindex in iram ei qui malum agit.
⁵ Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.	⁵ Ideo necessitate subditi estote non solum propter iram, sed etiam propter conscientiam.
⁶ For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.	⁶ Ideo enim et tributa præstatis : ministri enim Dei sunt, in hoc ipsum servientes.
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.	⁷ Reddite ergo omnibus debita : cui tributum, tributum : cui vectigal, vectigal : cui timorem, timorem : cui honorem, honorem.
⁸ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.	⁸ Nemini quidquam debeatis, nisi ut invicem diligatis : qui enim diligit proximum, legem implevit.
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.	⁹ Nam : Non adulterabis : non occides : non furaberis : non falsum testimonium dices : non concupisces : et si quod est aliud mandatum, in hoc verbo instauratur : diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.	¹⁰ Dilectio proximi malum non operatur. Plenitudo ergo legis est dilectio.
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.	¹¹ Et hoc scientes tempus : quia hora est jam nos de somno surgere. Nunc enim propior est nostra salus, quam cum credidimus.
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.	¹² Nox præcessit, dies autem appropinquavit. Abjiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum, et induamur arma lucis.
¹³ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.	¹³ Sicut in die honeste ambulemus : non in comessationibus, et ebrietatibus, non in cubilibus, et impudicitiis, non in contentione, et æmulatione :
¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.	¹⁴ sed induimini Dominum Jesum Christum, et carnis curam ne feceritis in desideriis.
