Notes on this text (1)
RP2018 Byzantine Textform (Robinson-Pierpont 2018)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 πασα ψυχη εξουσιαισ υπερεχουσαισ υποτασσεσθω ου γαρ εστιν εξουσια ει μη υπο θεου αι δε ουσαι εξουσιαι υπο του θεου τεταγμεναι εισιν
1 TODA alma se someta á las potestades superiores; porque no hay potestad sino de Dios; y las que son, de Dios son ordenadas.
2 ωστε ο αντιτασσομενοσ τη εξουσια τη του θεου διαταγη ανθεστηκεν οι δε ανθεστηκοτεσ εαυτοισ κριμα ληψονται
2 Así que, el que se opone á la potestad, á la ordenación de Dios resiste: y los que resisten, ellos mismos ganan condenación para sí.
3 οι γαρ αρχοντεσ ουκ εισιν φοβοσ των αγαθων εργων αλλα των κακων θελεισ δε μη φοβεισθαι την εξουσιαν το αγαθον ποιει και εξεισ επαινον εξ αυτησ
3 Porque los magistrados no son para temor al que bien hace, sino al malo. ¿Quieres pues no temer la potestad? haz lo bueno, y tendrás alabanza de ella;
4 θεου γαρ διακονοσ εστιν σοι εισ το αγαθον εαν δε το κακον ποιησ φοβου ου γαρ εικη την μαχαιραν φορει θεου γαρ διακονοσ εστιν εκδικοσ εισ οργην τω το κακον πρασσοντι
4 Porque es ministro de Dios para tu bien. Mas si hicieres lo malo, teme: porque no en vano lleva el cuchillo; porque es ministro de Dios, vengador para castigo al que hace lo malo.
5 διο αναγκη υποτασσεσθαι ου μονον δια την οργην αλλα και δια την συνειδησιν
5 Por lo cual es necesario que [le] estéis sujetos, no solamente por la ira, mas aun por la conciencia.
6 δια τουτο γαρ και φορουσ τελειτε λειτουργοι γαρ θεου εισιν εισ αυτο τουτο προσκαρτερουντεσ
6 Porque por esto pagáis también los tributos; porque son ministros de Dios que sirven á esto mismo.
7 αποδοτε ουν πασιν τασ οφειλασ τω τον φορον τον φορον τω το τελοσ το τελοσ τω τον φοβον τον φοβον τω την τιμην την τιμην
7 Pagad á todos lo que debéis: al que tributo, tributo; al que pecho, pecho; al que temor, temor; al que honra, honra.
8 μηδενι μηδεν οφειλετε ει μη το αγαπαν αλληλουσ ο γαρ αγαπων τον ετερον νομον πεπληρωκεν
8 No debáis á nadie nada, sino amaros unos á otros; porque el que ama al prójimo, cumplió la ley.
9 το γαρ ου μοιχευσεισ ου φονευσεισ ου κλεψεισ ουκ επιθυμησεισ και ει τισ ετερα εντολη εν τουτω τω λογω ανακεφαλαιουται εν τω αγαπησεισ τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
9 Porque: No adulterarás; no matarás; no hurtarás; no dirás falso testimonio; no codiciarás; y si hay algún otro mandamiento, en esta sentencia se comprende sumariamente: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
10 η αγαπη τω πλησιον κακον ουκ εργαζεται πληρωμα ουν νομου η αγαπη
10 La caridad no hace mal al prójimo: así que, el cumplimento de la ley es la caridad.
11 και τουτο ειδοτεσ τον καιρον οτι ωρα ημασ ηδη εξ υπνου εγερθηναι νυν γαρ εγγυτερον ημων η σωτηρια η οτε επιστευσαμεν
11 Y esto, conociendo el tiempo, que es ya hora de levantarnos del sueño; porque ahora nos está más cerca nuestra salud que cuando creímos.
12 η νυξ προεκοψεν η δε ημερα ηγγικεν αποθωμεθα ουν τα εργα του σκοτουσ και ενδυσωμεθα τα οπλα του φωτοσ
12 La noche ha pasado, y ha llegado el día: echemos, pues, las obras de las tinieblas, y vistámonos las armas de luz.
13 ωσ εν ημερα ευσχημονωσ περιπατησωμεν μη κωμοισ και μεθαισ μη κοιταισ και ασελγειαισ μη εριδι και ζηλω
13 Andemos como de día, honestamente: no en glotonerías y borracheras, no en lechos y disoluciones, no en pedencias y envidia:
14 αλλ ενδυσασθε τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον και τησ σαρκοσ προνοιαν μη ποιεισθε εισ επιθυμιασ
14 Mas vestíos del Señor Jesucristo, y no hagáis caso de la carne en [sus] deseos.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 13:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XXIII)

    Of this subject he makes much account in other epistles also, setting subjects under their rulers as household servants are under their masters.

  2. Quotes verse 13:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter IX)

    And Paul in like manner declares, "Love is the fulfilling of the law:" and [he declares] that when all other things have been destroyed, there shall remain "faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of all is love;" and that apart from the love of God, neither knowledge avails anything, nor the understanding of mysteries, nor faith, nor prophecy, but …

  3. Quotes verse 13:13 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII, Chapter XI)

    … in silence read that paragraph on which my eyes first fell,--"Not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying; but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." No further would I read, nor did I need; for instantly, as the sentence ended,--by …

  4. Quotes verse 13:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily X)

    But that it is even at the doors, hear Paul saying, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and again, "He that cometh will come, and will not tarry." For the signs too are now complete, which announce that day.

  5. Quotes verse 13:1–7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXXVI)

    For this cause pay ye tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing." Both the Lord, then, and the apostles announce as the one only God the Father, Him who gave the law, who sent the prophets, who made all things; and therefore does He say, "He sent His armies," because every man, inasmuch as …
