| 1每人要服從上級有權柄的人，因為沒有權柄不是從天主來的，所有的權柄都是由天主規定的。 | 1Let everyone be subject to the authorities. For there is no authority that does not come from God, and the offices have been established by God. |
| 2所以誰反抗權柄，就是反抗天主的規定，而反抗的人就是自取處罰。 | 2Whoever, therefore, resists authority goes against a decree of God, and those who resist deserve to be condemned. |
| 3因為長官為行善的人，不是可怕的；為行惡的人，纔是可怕的。你願意不怕掌權的嗎？你行善罷！那就可由他得到稱讚， | 3In fact, who fears authority? Not those who do good, but those who do evil. Do you want to be without fear of a person in authority? Do good and you will receive praise. |
| 4因為他是天主的僕役，是為相幫你行善；你若作惡，你就該害怕，因為他不是無故帶劍；他既是天主的僕役，就負責懲罰作惡的人； | 4They are the stewards of God for your good. But if you do not behave, fear them for they do not carry arms in vain; they are at the service of God when they judge and punish wrongdoers. |
| 5所以必須服從，不只是為怕懲罰，而也是為了良心。 | 5It is necessary to obey, not through fear but as a matter of conscience. |
| 6為此，你們也該完糧，因為他們是天主的差役，是專為盡這義務的。 | 6In the same way you must pay taxes, and the collectors are God's officials. |
| 7凡人應得的，你們要付清；該給誰完糧，就完糧；該給誰納稅，就納稅；該敬畏的，就敬畏；該尊敬的，就尊敬。 | 7Pay to all what is due them; to whomever you owe contributions, make a contribution; to whom taxes are due, pay taxes; to whom respect is due, give respect; to whom honor is due, give honor. |
| 8除了彼此相愛外，你們不可再欠人什麼，因為誰愛別人，就滿全了法律。 | 8Do not be in debt to anyone. Let this be the only debt of one to another: Love. The one who loves his or her neighbor fulfilled the Law. |
| 9其實「不可奸淫，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可貪戀」，以及其他任何誡命，都包含在這句話裏：就是「愛你的近人如你自己。」 | 9For the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not covet and whatever else are summarized in this one: You will love your neighbor as yourself. |
| 10愛不加害於人，所以愛就是法律的滿全。 | 10Love cannot do the neighbor any harm; so love fulfills the whole Law. |
| 11再者，你們該認清這個時期，現在已經是由睡夢中醒來的時辰了，因為我們的救恩，現今比我們當初信的時候更臨近了。 | 11You know what hour it is. This is the time to awake, for our salvation is now nearer than when we first believed; |
| 12黑夜深了，白日已近，所以我們該脫去黑暗的行為，佩戴光明的武器； | 12the night is almost over and day is at hand. Let us discard, therefore, everything that belongs to darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. |
| 13行動要端莊，好像在白天一樣，不可狂宴豪飲，不可淫亂放蕩，不可爭鬥嫉妒； | 13As we live in the full light of day, let us behave with decency; no banquets with drunkenness, no prostitution or vices, no fighting or jealousy. |
| 14但該穿上主耶穌基督；不應只掛念肉性的事，以滿足私慾。 | 14Put on, rather, the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not be led by the will of the flesh nor follow its desires. |
