| Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. | 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. |
| For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, busy with this very thing. | For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. |
|
| Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. | Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. |
| Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. |
| The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” | 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. |
| Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. | Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. |
| Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. |
