羅馬書 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1在上有權柄的，人人當順服他，因為沒有權柄不是出於上帝的。凡掌權的都是上帝所命的。
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
2所以，抗拒掌權的就是抗拒上帝的命；抗拒的必自取刑罰。
2Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3作官的原不是叫行善的懼怕，乃是叫作惡的懼怕。你願意不懼怕掌權的嗎？你只要行善，就可得他的稱讚；
3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.
4因為他是上帝的用人，是與你有益的。你若作惡，卻當懼怕，因為他不是空空地佩劍；他是上帝的用人，是伸冤的，刑罰那作惡的。
4For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
5所以，你們必須順服，不但是因為刑罰，也是因為良心。
5Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6你們納糧，也為這個緣故；因他們是上帝的差役，常常特管這事。
6This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
7凡人所當得的，就給他。當得糧的，給他納糧；當得稅的，給他上稅；當懼怕的，懼怕他；當恭敬的，恭敬他。
7Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
8凡事都不可虧欠人，惟有彼此相愛要常以為虧欠，因為愛人的就完全了律法。
8Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9像那不可姦淫，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可貪婪，或有別的誡命，都包在愛人如己這一句話之內了。
9The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10愛是不加害與人的，所以愛就完全了律法。
10Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11再者，你們曉得，現今就是該趁早睡醒的時候；因為我們得救，現今比 初 信的時候更近了。
11And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12黑夜已深，白晝將近。我們就當脫去暗昧的行為，帶上光明的兵器。
12The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
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。
13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14總要披戴主耶穌基督，不要為肉體安排，去 放縱 私慾。
14Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
