Poslanica Rimljanima 13

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Svaka duša neka se podlaže vlastima nad sobom. Jer nema vlasti doli od Boga: koje postoje, od Boga su postavljene.	1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.
2 Stoga tko se suprotstavlja vlasti, Božjoj se odredbi protivi; koji se pak protive, sami će na se navući osudu.	2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.
3 Vladari doista nisu strah i trepet zbog dobra, nego zbog zla djela. Hoćeš li se ne bojati vlasti? Dobro čini pa ćeš imati pohvalu od nje!	3 For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.
4 Ta Božji je ona poslužitelj – tebi na dobro. Ako li zlo činiš, strahuj! Ne nosi uzalud mača! Božji je ona poslužitelj: gnjev njegov iskaljuje na onome koji zlo čini.	4 For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.
5 Treba se stoga podlagati, ne samo zbog gnjeva nego i zbog savjesti.	5 Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
6 Zato i poreze plaćate: ta službenici su Božji oni koji se time bave.	6 For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.
7 Dajte svakomu što mu pripada: komu porez – porez, komu carina – carina, komu poštovanje – poštovanje, komu čast – čast.	7 Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour.
8 Nikomu ništa ne dugujte, osim da jedni druge ljubite. Jer tko drugoga ljubi, ispunio je Zakon.	8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.
9 Uistinu: Ne čini preljuba! Ne ubij! Ne ukradi! Ne poželi! I ima li koja druga zapovijed, sažeta je u ovoj riječi: Ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga.	9 For 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 comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Ljubav bližnjemu zla ne čini. Punina dakle Zakona jest ljubav.	10 The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law.
11 To tim više što shvaćate ovaj čas: vrijeme je već da se oda sna prenemo jer nam je sada spasenje bliže nego kad povjerovasmo.	11 And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
12 Noć poodmače, dan se približi! Odložimo dakle djela tame i zaodjenimo se oružjem svjetlosti.	12 The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.
13 Kao po danu pristojno hodimo, ne u pijankama i pijančevanjima, ne u priležništvima i razvratnostima, ne u svađi i ljubomoru,	13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy:
14 nego zaodjenite se Gospodinom Isusom Kristom i, u brizi za tijelo, ne pogodujte požudama.	14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.
