罗马书 13
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
要顺服掌权者
13 在上有权柄的,人人当顺服他,因为没有权柄不是出于神的,凡掌权的都是神所命的。 2 所以,抗拒掌权的就是抗拒神的命,抗拒的必自取刑罚。 3 做官的原不是叫行善的惧怕,乃是叫作恶的惧怕。你愿意不惧怕掌权的吗?你只要行善,就可得他的称赞; 4 因为他是神的用人,是于你有益的。你若作恶,却当惧怕;因为他不是空空地佩剑,他是神的用人,是申冤的,刑罚那作恶的。 5 所以你们必须顺服,不但是因为刑罚,也是因为良心。 6 你们纳粮也为这个缘故,因他们是神的差役,常常特管这事。 7 凡人所当得的,就给他:当得粮的,给他纳粮;当得税的,给他上税;当惧怕的,惧怕他;当恭敬的,恭敬他。
爱心完全律法
8 凡事都不可亏欠人,唯有彼此相爱,要常以为亏欠。因为爱人的,就完全了律法。 9 像那“不可奸淫,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可贪婪”,或有别的诫命,都包在“爱人如己”这一句话之内了。 10 爱是不加害于人的,所以爱就完全了律法。
当趁早醒悟
11 再者,你们晓得,现今就是该趁早睡醒的时候,因为我们得救,现今比初信的时候更近了。 12 黑夜已深,白昼将近,我们就当脱去暗昧的行为,带上光明的兵器。 13 行事为人要端正,好像行在白昼。不可荒宴醉酒,不可好色邪荡,不可争竞嫉妒。 14 总要披戴主耶稣基督,不要为肉体安排,去放纵私欲。

服從政府的權柄
13 人人都要服從政府的權柄,因為所有的權柄都是出於上帝。現存的政權都是上帝設立的。 2 所以,抗拒權柄,就是抗拒上帝的命令,抗拒的人必自招懲罰。 3 掌權者不是叫行善的懼怕,而是叫作惡的懼怕。你想不怕掌權的嗎?就要行得正,這樣你會得到稱讚。 4 要知道掌權者是上帝差遣的,對行得正的人有益處。然而,你若作惡,就該懼怕,因為他必將你繩之以法[a]。他是上帝的僕人,代表上帝秉公行義,懲奸罰惡。 5 所以,你們必須服從,不單是為了避免受到懲罰,也是為了良心無愧。
6 你們納稅也是為了同樣的緣故,因為官長是上帝的僕人,負責管理這類事務。 7 凡是別人該得的,都要給他。該得米糧的,就納糧給他;該得稅款的,就繳稅給他;該懼怕的,就懼怕他;該尊敬的,就尊敬他。
愛鄰如己
8 凡事都不可虧欠人,但在彼此相愛方面要常常覺得做得不夠。一個人愛別人,就成全了律法。 9 因為「不可通姦、不可殺人、不可偷竊、不可貪婪」以及其他誡命,都可以總結成一句話——「愛鄰如己」。 10 人若有愛心,就不會作惡害人,所以愛成全了律法。
11 還有,要知道現今是你們該醒過來的時候了!因為與初信的時候相比,我們得救的日子更近了。 12 黑夜已深,天將破曉,我們要除掉黑暗的行為,穿上光明的盔甲[b]。 13 我們要為人端正,光明磊落,不可荒宴醉酒、好色邪蕩、嫉妒紛爭。 14 你們要活出主耶穌基督的榮美[c],不要只顧放縱罪惡本性的私慾。

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。

New International Version
Submission to Governing Authorities
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,(A) for there is no authority except that which God has established.(B) The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted,(C) and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.(D) 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.(E) 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.(F)
6 This is also why you pay taxes,(G) for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;(H) if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.(I) 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a](J) and whatever other command there may be, are summed up(K) in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](L) 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.(M)
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come(N) for you to wake up from your slumber,(O) because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.(P) So let us put aside the deeds of darkness(Q) and put on the armor(R) of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness,(S) not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.(T) 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,(U) and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[c](V)

Romans 13
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
