1 Every 1aperson is to be in bsubjection to the governing authorities. For cthere is no authority except 2from God, and those which exist are established by God.
2 Therefore 1whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
3 For arulers are not a cause of fear for 1good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;
4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an aavenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also afor conscience’ sake.
6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
7 aRender to all what is due them: btax to whom tax is due; ccustom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for ahe who loves 1his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 For this, “aYou shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “bYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love 1does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore alove is the fulfillment of the law.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is aalready the hour for you to bawaken from sleep; for now 1salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.
12 aThe night is almost gone, and bthe day is near. Therefore let us lay aside cthe deeds of darkness and put on dthe armor of light.
13 Let us 1abehave properly as in the day, bnot in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.
14 But aput on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh bin regard to its lusts.
1 Now aaccept the one who is bweak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
2 aOne person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is bweak eats vegetables only.
3 The one who eats is not to aregard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to bjudge the one who eats, for God has caccepted him.
4 aWho are you to judge the 1servant of another? To his own 2master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 aOne person 1regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be bfully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, 1does so for the Lord, for he agives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.
7 For not one of us alives for himself, and not one dies for himself;
8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore awhether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end aChrist died and lived again, that He might be bLord both of the dead and of the living.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you aregard your brother with contempt? For bwe will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
“aAs I live, says the Lord, bevery knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall 1give praise to God.”
12 So then aeach one of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not ajudge one another anymore, but rather determine this—bnot to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way.
14 I know and am convinced 1in the Lord Jesus that anothing is unclean in itself; but to him who bthinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer awalking according to love. bDo not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore ado not let what is for you a good thing be 1spoken of as evil;
17 for the kingdom of God ais not eating and drinking, but righteousness and bpeace and bjoy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who in this way aserves Christ is bacceptable to God and approved by men.
19 So then 1we apursue the things which make for peace and the bbuilding up of one another.
20 aDo not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. bAll things indeed are clean, but cthey are evil for the man who eats 1and gives offense.
21 aIt is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.
22 The faith which you have, have 1as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who adoes not condemn himself in what he approves.
23 But ahe who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
Self-denial on Behalf of Others
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of athose without strength and not just please ourselves.
2 Each of us is to aplease his neighbor 1for his good, to his bedification.
3 For even aChrist did not please Himself; but as it is written, “bThe reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”
4 For awhatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 Now may the aGod 1who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you bto be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
6 so that with one accord you may with one 1voice glorify athe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore, aaccept one another, just as Christ also accepted 1us to the glory of God.
8 For I say that Christ has become a servant to athe circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm bthe promises given to the fathers,
9 and for athe Gentiles to bglorify God for His mercy; as it is written,
“cTherefore I will 1give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing to Your name.”
“aRejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
“aPraise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”
“aThere shall come bthe root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
cIn Him shall the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all ajoy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope bby the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of agoodness, filled with ball knowledge and able also to admonish one another.
15 But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of athe grace that was given me 1from God,
16 to be aa minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the bgospel of God, so that my coffering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found areason for boasting in bthings pertaining to God.
18 For I will not presume to speak of anything 1except what aChrist has accomplished through me, 2resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
19 in the power of 1asigns and wonders, bin the power of the Spirit; so that cfrom Jerusalem and round about as dfar as Illyricum I have 2fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 And thus I aspired to apreach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, bso that I would not build on another man’s foundation;
“aThey who had no news of Him shall see,
And they who have not heard shall understand.”
22 For this reason aI have often been prevented from coming to you;
23 but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I ahave had for many years a longing to come to you
24 whenever I ago to Spain—for I hope to see you in passing, and to be bhelped on my way there by you, when I have first cenjoyed your company 1for a while—
25 but now, aI am going to Jerusalem bserving the 1saints.
26 For aMacedonia and bAchaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the 1saints in Jerusalem.
27 Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For aif the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.
28 Therefore, when I have finished this, and ahave 1put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will bgo on by way of you to Spain.
29 I know that when aI come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by athe love of the Spirit, to bstrive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
31 that I may be arescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my bservice for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the 1csaints;
32 so that aI may come to you in joy by bthe will of God and find refreshing rest in your company.
33 Now athe God of peace be with you all. Amen.
