| 13:1 | 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. |
| 13:2 | Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. |
| 13:3 | 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: |
| 13:4 | 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. |
| 13:5 | Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. |
| 13:6 | For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. |
| 13:7 | Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. |
| 13:8 | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. |
| 13:9 | 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. |
| 13:10 | Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |
| 13:11 | 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. |
| 13:12 | 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. |
| 13:13 | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. |
| 13:13 | 行事為人要端正、好像行在白晝．不可荒宴醉酒．不可好色邪蕩．不可爭競嫉妒。 |
| 13:13 | 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。 |
| 1ts:4:12 | That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. |
| 1pe:2:12 | Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. |
| luk:21:34 | And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. |
| gal:5:21 | Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
| eph:5:18 | And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; |
| 1pe:4:3 | For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: |
| jas:3:14 | But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. |
| jas:3:16 | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. |
| COBL | |
| 13:14 | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. |
