WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Свака душа да се покорава властима које владају; јер нема власти да није од Бога, а што су власти, од Бога су постављене.
1 TODA alma se someta á las potestades superiores; porque no hay potestad sino de Dios; y las que son, de Dios son ordenadas.
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2 Тако који се супроти власти супроти се наредби Божијој; а који се супроте примиће грех на себе.
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.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3 Јер кнезови нису страх добрим делима него злим. Хоћеш ли, пак, да се не бојиш власти, чини добро, и имаћеш хвалу од ње;
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;
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
4 јер је слуга Божји теби за добро. Ако ли зло чиниш, бој се; јер узалуд не носи мача, јер је Божји слуга, осветник на гнев ономе који зло чини.
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.
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5 Тако се ваља покоравати не само од страха него и по савести.
5 Por lo cual es necesario que [le] estéis sujetos, no solamente por la ira, mas aun por la conciencia.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 Јер за то и порезе дајете; јер су слуге Божије које су за то исто постављене.
6 Porque por esto pagáis también los tributos; porque son ministros de Dios que sirven á esto mismo.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
7 Подајте, дакле, свакоме шта сте дужни: коме дакле порезу, порезу; а коме царину, царину; а коме страх, страх; а коме част, част.
7 Pagad á todos lo que debéis: al que tributo, tributo; al que pecho, pecho; al que temor, temor; al que honra, honra.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
8 И не будите никоме ништа дужни осим да љубите један другог; јер који љуби другог закон испуни.
8 No debáis á nadie nada, sino amaros unos á otros; porque el que ama al prójimo, cumplió la ley.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Јер ово: Не чини прељубе, не убиј, не укради, не сведочи лажно, не зажели, и ако има још каква друга заповест, у овој се речи извршује, то јест: Љуби ближњег свог као самог себе.
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.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Љубав не чини зла ближњему; дакле је љубав извршење закона.
10 La caridad no hace mal al prójimo: así que, el cumplimento de la ley es la caridad.
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11 И знајући ово време да је већ час дошао да устанемо од сна; јар нам је сад ближе спасење него ли кад веровасмо.
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.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
12 Ноћ прође, а дан се приближи: да одбацимо, дакле, сва дела тамна, и да се обучемо у оружје видела.
12 La noche ha pasado, y ha llegado el día: echemos, pues, las obras de las tinieblas, y vistámonos las armas de luz.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
13 Да ходимо поштено као по дану: не у ждерању и пијанству, не у курварству и нечистоти, не у свађању и зависти;
13 Andemos como de día, honestamente: no en glotonerías y borracheras, no en lechos y disoluciones, no en pedencias y envidia:
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
14 него се обуците у Господа Исуса Христа; и телу не угађајте по жељама.
14 Mas vestíos del Señor Jesucristo, y no hagáis caso de la carne en [sus] deseos.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

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

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 …
… 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 …

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.

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 …
