¹Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained 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.

²Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will 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. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will 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 servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who 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.

⁵Therefore you need to 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 reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, 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.

⁷Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; 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 one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor 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 the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not give false testimony,” “You shall not covet,” TR adds “You shall not give false testimony,” Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21 and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

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 doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment 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.

¹¹Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now 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 gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let’s 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 properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and 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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for 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.
