罗马书 13:1 · Romans 13:1
在上有权柄的,人人当顺服他,因为没有权柄不是出於 上帝的。凡掌权的都是 上帝所命的。
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.
Romans 13 · King James Version
英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 14 节
在上有权柄的,人人当顺服他,因为没有权柄不是出於 上帝的。凡掌权的都是 上帝所命的。
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.
所以抗拒掌权的,就是抗拒 上帝的命。抗拒的必自取咒诅。
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
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?只要行善,你就可得他的称赞;
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:
因为他是 上帝的执事,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 上帝的执事,是以烈怒施行报应的,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.
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.
你们纳粮,也为这个缘故;因他们是 上帝的差役,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.
故此,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.
凡事都不可亏欠人,倒要彼此相爱;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.
像那「你不可奸淫」丶「你不可杀人」丶「你不可偷盗」丶「你不可作假见证」丶「你不可贪婪」丶或有别的诫命,都包在爱邻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.
爱是不加害与邻居的,所以爱就完全了律法。
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
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.
黑夜已深,白昼将近;我们就当脱去暗昧的行为,带上光明的盔甲。
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.
行事为人要端正,好像行在白昼。不可放纵醉酒,不可好色邪荡,不可争闹嫉妒;
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
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].
