¹Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.

¹Swako manush trobul te lelpe palai kris kai si ando them. Ke nai chi iek zakono kai chi avel katar O Del, ai le zakonuria kai si pe phuv O Del meklia le.

²Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

²Kon godi chi mangel te lelpe pala zakono chi lelpe pala zakono kai meklia O Del: ai kodola kai chi lenpe pala zakono anena e kris pe pende.

³For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

³Chi trobul te daral pe katar le bare kai poronchin kana le manush keren mishto, numa katar kodola kai keren o nasulimos. Manges te na daras katar o zhandari? Apo, antunchi ker o mishtimos, ai mothona mishtimos pa tute.

⁴for he is a 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 a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

⁴Ke wo kerel buchi le Devleski te kerel tu te keres o mishtimos. Numa te keresa o nasulimos, trobul te daras; ke nai intaino kai si les e putiera te kerel tu te pochines o nasulimos kai kerdian: ke wo kerel buchi le Devleske te sikavel e xoli le Devleski kana kerel te pochinel kodo kai kerdia o nasulimos.

⁵Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

⁵Anda kodia trobul te les tu pala zakono le barenge ande cho them, na ferdi te na avel e xoli le Devleske pe tute, numa ke chi goji trobul te kerel kadia.

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

⁶Anda kodia tume pochinen taksa, ke le manush kai chiden le love keren buchi le Devleske te keren vorta kodia buchi.

⁷Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

⁷Pochinen savorhenge so kamen lenge, pochinen so kamen kodolenge so trobul te pochinen, ai pochinen le love pe tumari phuv kodoleske kai trobul te avel pochindo, sikaven ke lazhan katar kodo kai kamen leske, ai keren vorta kodolesa kai trobul te keren vorta.

⁸Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

⁸Na kamen love kanikaske, de ferdi te aven drago iek kavreske. Ke kodo kai si leske drago le kolaver, kodo kerdia o zakono.

⁹For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁹Ke o zakono si, "Te na keres kurvia; te na mudares; te na chores; ai na pupuin, ai na mang so si avresko" Kadia diela ai le kolaver si sa iek zakono, "Te avel tuke drago cho vortako sar san tu drago tuke."

¹⁰Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

¹⁰E dragostia chi kerel vov si nasulimos le vortakoske. Kana si amenge drago le kolaver kadia si kai keras sa o zakono.

¹¹And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed.

¹¹No keren kadia ke zhanen ande che vriama sam, avili e vriama te pominin tume anda tumaro sovimos. Ke o skepimos mai pasha amende lo akana de sar kana pachaiam ame e pervo data.

¹²The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹²E riat pashte nakhli, o dies si te phuterdiol. Mek te shudas pa amende le dieli kai keren o tuniariko, ai las pe amende le dieli le vediarike.

¹³Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

¹³Phiras vorta, sar trobul ande vediara le dieseski; arakhas ame katar le chingara ai katar o pimos, ai katar le dieli le bi vuzhe ai katar e kurvia, na maras ame ai te na aven zhaluzuria vai te na mangen so si avres.

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

¹⁴Numa len pe tumende o nevo traio kai si ando Jesus Kristo O Del, ai na mai len tume pala tumaro stato, te keren so wo mangel.
