罗马书 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
服从政府的权柄
13 人人都要服从政府的权柄，因为所有的权柄都是出于上帝。现存的政权都是上帝设立的。 2 所以，抗拒权柄，就是抗拒上帝的命令，抗拒的人必自招惩罚。 3 掌权者不是叫行善的惧怕，而是叫作恶的惧怕。你想不怕掌权的吗？就要行得正，这样你会得到称赞。 4 要知道掌权者是上帝差遣的，对行得正的人有益处。然而，你若作恶，就该惧怕，因为他必将你绳之以法[a]。他是上帝的仆人，代表上帝秉公行义，惩奸罚恶。 5 所以，你们必须服从，不单是为了避免受到惩罚，也是为了良心无愧。
6 你们纳税也是为了同样的缘故，因为官长是上帝的仆人，负责管理这类事务。 7 凡是别人该得的，都要给他。该得米粮的，就纳粮给他；该得税款的，就缴税给他；该惧怕的，就惧怕他；该尊敬的，就尊敬他。
爱邻如己
8 凡事都不可亏欠人，但在彼此相爱方面要常常觉得做得不够。一个人爱别人，就成全了律法。 9 因为“不可通奸、不可杀人、不可偷窃、不可贪婪”以及其他诫命，都可以总结成一句话——“爱邻如己”。 10 人若有爱心，就不会作恶害人，所以爱成全了律法。
11 还有，要知道现今是你们该醒过来的时候了！因为与初信的时候相比，我们得救的日子更近了。 12 黑夜已深，天将破晓，我们要除掉黑暗的行为，穿上光明的盔甲[b]。 13 我们要为人端正，光明磊落，不可荒宴醉酒、好色邪荡、嫉妒纷争。 14 你们要活出主耶稣基督的荣美[c]，不要只顾放纵罪恶本性的私欲。
Romans 13
Young's Literal Translation
13 Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,
2 so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.
3 For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it,
4 for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.
5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
6 for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
7 render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled,
9 for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'
10 the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of law.
11 And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our salvation than when we did believe;
12 the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;
13 as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
14 but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires.
