¹Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by 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.

²So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

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 a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

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 it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does 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 it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

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 on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on 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: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

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 one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has 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, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.

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

¹¹This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we 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 near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour 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.

¹³As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.

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.
