| 1 | Every soul must be subject to more powerful authorities. Since there is no authority except from Yahweh, then those who are, by Yahweh are they appointed. |
| 2 | Consequently, one opposing the authority has opposed the ordinance of Yahweh, and they who are in opposition will themselves receive judgment. |
| 3 | For rulers are not a terror to good work, but to evil. Now do you desire to not be fearful of the authority? Practice good, and you will have approval from it; |
| 4 | a servant of Yahweh is to you for good. But if you practice evil, be fearful; for not without purpose will he bear the sword, indeed a servant of Yahweh is an avenger with wrath to he who has practiced evil. |
| 5 | On which account to be subordinate is a necessity, not only because of indignation, but also because of conscience. |
| 6 | For this reason also you pay tribute; they are ministers of Yahweh, obstinately persisting in this same thing. |
| 7 | Therefore render to all debts: to whom tribute, tribute; to whom taxes, taxes; to whom reverence, reverence; to whom dignity, dignity. |
| 8 | You owe to no one anything, except to love one another: for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. |
| 9 | Indeed you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not lust, and any other commandment is summarized in this saying, to wit: "You shall love him near to you as yourself." |
| 10 | Love for him near to you who does not practice evil: therefore fulfilling of the law is love. |
| 11 | Likewise, seeing the time, that hour we already are to be aroused out of sleep; for now it is nearer to our deliverance than when we had believed. |
| 12 | The night has advanced, and the day is drawn near; therefore we must put away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. |
| 13 | As in the day, we shall walk honorably; not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lasciviousness and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy. |
| 14 | Rather put on Prince Yahshua Christ, and do not fashion for lust provision of the flesh. |
