Lettera ai Romani 13

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit. Non est enimpotestas nisi a Deo; quae autem sunt, a Deo ordinatae sunt.	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.
2 Itaque, quiresistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit; qui autem resistunt ipsi, sibidamnationem acquirent.	2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 Nam principes non sunt timori bono operi sed malo. Visautem non timere potestatem? Bonum fac, et habebis laudem ex illa;	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:
4 Dei enimministra est tibi in bonum. Si autem malum feceris, time; non enim sine causagladium portat; Dei enim ministra est, vindex in iram ei, qui malum agit.	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.
5 Ideonecesse est subditos esse, non solum propter iram sed et propter conscientiam.	5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 Ideo enim et tributa praestatis; ministri enim Dei sunt in hoc ipsum instantes.	6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Reddite omnibus debita: cui tributum tributum, cui vectigal vectigal, cuitimorem timorem, cui honorem honorem.	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.
8 Nemini quidquam debeatis, nisi ut invicem diligatis: qui enim diligitproximum, legem implevit.	8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 Nam: Non adulterabis, Non occides, Non furaberis,Non concupisces, et si quod est aliud mandatum, in hoc verbo recapitulatur:Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum.	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.
10 Dilectio proximo malum non operatur;plenitudo ergo legis est dilectio.	10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Et hoc scientes tempus, quia hora est iam vos de somno surgere; nunc enimpropior est nobis salus quam cum credidimus.	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.
12 Nox processit, dies autemappropiavit. Abiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum et induamur arma lucis.	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.
13 Sicut indie honeste ambulemus: non in comissationibus et ebrietatibus, non in cubilibuset impudicitiis, non in contentione et aemulatione;	13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 sed induite Dominum IesumChristum et carnis curam ne feceritis in concupiscentiis.	14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
