Διό Therefore ἀνάγκη necessary [it is] ὑποτάσσεσθαι, to be subject, οὐ not μόνον only διά on account of τήν the ὀργήν wrath, ἀλλά but καί also διά on account of τήν the συνείδησιν. conscience. διά Because of τοῦτο this γάρ for, καί also φόρους taxes τελεῖτε· pay you; λειτουργοί servants γάρ for Θεοῦ of God εἰσίν they are, εἰς upon αὐτό this very τοῦτο thing προσκαρτεροῦντες. attending continually. ἀπόδοτε Render πᾶσιν to all τάς their ὀφειλάς, dues, τῷ to whom τόν the φόρον tax, τόν the φόρον, tax; τῷ to whom τό the τέλος revenue, τό the τέλος, revenue; τῷ to whom τόν the φόβον respect, τόν the φόβον, respect; τῷ to whom τήν the τιμήν honor, τήν the τιμήν. honor.

Μηδενί To no one μηδέν nothing ὀφείλετε owe, εἰ if μή not τό - ἀλλήλους one another ἀγαπᾶν· to love; ὁ the [one] γάρ for ἀγαπῶν loving τόν the ἕτερον other, νόμον [the] Law πεπλήρωκεν. has fulfilled. τό - γάρ For, οὐ Not μοιχεύσεις, you shall commit adultery, οὐ Not φονεύσεις, you shall murder, οὐ Not κλέψεις, you shall steal, οὐκ Not ἐπιθυμήσεις, you shall covet,” καί and εἴ if τὶς any ἑτέρα other ἐντολή, commandment, ἐν in τῷ the λόγῳ word τούτῳ this ἀνακεφαλαιοῦται it is summed up, ἐν in τῷ· the [saying]: Ἀγαπήσεις You shall love τόν the πλησίον neighbor σου of you ὡς as σεαυτόν. yourself.” ἡ - ἀγάπη Love τῷ to the πλησίον neighbor κακόν evil οὐ not ἐργάζεται· does do; πλήρωμα [the] fulfillment οὖν therefore νόμου of [the] law ἡ - ἀγάπη. love [is]. Καί And τοῦτο this, εἰδότες knowing τόν the καιρόν, time, ὅτι that [it is the] ὥρα hour ἤδη already ὑμᾶς for you ἐκ out of ὕπνου sleep ἐγερθῆναι, to awaken; νῦν now γάρ for ἐγγύτερον nearer ἡμῶν [is] of us ἡ the σωτηρία salvation ἤ than ὅτε when first ἐπιστεύσαμεν. we believed. ἡ The νύξ night προέκοψεν, is nearly over, ἡ - δέ and ἡμέρα the day ἤγγικεν. has drawn near. ἀποθώμεθα We should cast off οὖν therefore τά the ἔργα works τοῦ - σκότους, of darkness; ἐνδυσώμεθα we should put on δέ now τά the ὅπλα armor τοῦ - φωτός. of light. ὡς As ἐν in ἡμέρᾳ daytime, εὐσχημόνως properly περιπατήσωμεν, we should walk, μή not κώμοις in reveling καί and μέθαις, drinking, μή not κοίταις in sexual immorality καί and ἀσελγείαις, sensuality, μή not ἔριδι in dissension καί and ζήλῳ, jealousy. ἀλλά But ἐνδύσασθε put on τόν the Κύριον Lord Ἰησοῦν Jesus Χριστόν Christ, καί and τῆς of the σαρκός flesh πρόνοιαν provision μή not ποιεῖσθε make εἰς for ἐπιθυμίας. desires.

Τόν The [one] δέ now ἀσθενοῦντα being weak τῇ in the πίστει faith, προσλαμβάνεσθε, receive, μή not εἰς for διακρίσεις passing judgment διαλογισμῶν. on reasonings. ὅς One μέν indeed πιστεύει believes φαγεῖν to eat πάντα, all things; ὁ the [one] δέ however ἀσθενῶν being weak, λάχανα vegetables ἐσθίει. eats. ὁ The [one] ἐσθίων eating, τόν the [one] μή not ἐσθίοντα eating μή not ἐξουθενείτω, let him despise; ὁ the [one] δέ now μή not ἐσθίων eating, τόν him ἐσθίοντα eating μή not κρινέτω, let him judge, ὁ - Θεός God γάρ for αὐτόν him προσελάβετο. has received. σύ You τίς who εἶ are, ὁ - κρίνων judging ἀλλότριον another’s οἰκέτην; servant? τῷ To the ἰδίῳ own κυρίῳ master στήκει he stands ἤ or πίπτει· falls. σταθήσεται He will be upheld δέ, however; δυνατεῖ able is γάρ for ὁ the Κύριος Lord στῆσαι to uphold αὐτόν. him. Ὅς One μέν truly γάρ for κρίνει judges ἡμέραν a day παρ ̓ [to be] above ἡμέραν, [another] day; ὅς one δέ however κρίνει judges πᾶσαν every ἡμέραν· day [alike]. ἕκαστος Each ἐν in τῷ the ἰδίῳ own νοΐ mind, πληροφορείσθω. let be fully assured. ὁ The [one] φρονῶν regarding τήν the ἡμέραν day, Κυρίῳ to [the] Lord φρονεῖ· regards [it]; καί And ὁ the [one] ἐσθίων eating, Κυρίῳ to [the] Lord ἐσθίει, eats, εὐχαριστεῖ he gives thanks γάρ for τῷ - Θεῷ· to God; καί and ὁ the [one] μή not ἐσθίων eating, Κυρίῳ to [the] Lord οὐ not ἐσθίει he eats, καί and εὐχαριστεῖ he gives thanks τῷ - Θεῷ. to God. Οὐδείς No one γάρ for ἡμῶν of us ἑαυτῷ to himself ζῇ lives, καί and οὐδείς no one ἑαυτῷ to himself ἀποθνῄσκει· dies. ἐάν If τέ both γάρ for ζῶμεν, we should live, τῷ to the Κυρίῳ Lord ζῶμεν, we live; ἐάν if τέ also ἀποθνήσκωμεν, we should die, τῷ to the Κυρίῳ Lord ἀποθνήσκομεν. we die. ἐάν If τέ both οὖν therefore ζῶμεν we should live, ἐάν if τέ also ἀποθνήσκωμεν, we should die, τοῦ the Κυρίου Lord’s ἐσμέν. we are. εἰς Unto τοῦτο this γάρ for, Χριστός Christ ἀπέθανεν died καί and ἔζησεν, lived again, ἵνα that καί both [the] νεκρῶν dead καί and ζώντων living κυριεύσῃ. He might rule over. Σύ You δέ however, τί why κρίνεις judge you τόν the ἀδελφόν brother σου; or you, ἤ or καί also σύ you τί why ἐξουθενεῖς do despise τόν the ἀδελφόν brother σου; of you? πάντες All γάρ for παραστησόμεθα we will stand before τῷ the βήματι judgment seat τοῦ of Θεοῦ, God. γέγραπται It has been written γάρ· for: Ζῶ Live ἐγώ, I, λέγει says Κύριος, [the] Lord, ὅτι that ἐμοί to Me κάμψει will bow πᾶν every γόνυ knee, καί and πᾶσα every γλῶσσα tongue ἐξομολογήσεται will confess τῷ - Θεῷ. to God.”

Ἄρα So οὖν then, ἕκαστος each ἡμῶν of us περί concerning ἑαυτοῦ himself, λόγον account δώσει will give τῷ - Θεῷ. to God.

Μηκέτι No longer οὖν therefore ἀλλήλους one another κρίνωμεν· should we judge; ἀλλά but τοῦτο this κρίνατε determine μᾶλλον, rather, τό - μή not τιθέναι to put πρόσκομμα [any] stumbling block τῷ before [your] ἀδελφῷ brother, ἤ or σκάνδαλον. snare. Οἶδα I know καί and πέπεισμαι I am persuaded ἐν in [the] Κυρίῳ Lord Ἰησοῦ Jesus ὅτι that οὐδέν nothing [is] κοινόν unclean δι ̓ of ἑαυτοῦ, itself; εἰ if μή not τῷ to him λογιζομένῳ reckoning τὶ anything κοινόν unclean εἶναι, to be, ἐκείνῳ to that one κοινόν. unclean [it is]. εἰ If γάρ for διά on account of βρῶμα food, ὁ the ἀδελφός brother σου of you λυπεῖται, is grieved, οὐκέτι no longer κατά according to ἀγάπην love περιπατεῖς· are you walking. μή Not τῷ with the βρώματι food σου of you ἐκεῖνον that one ἀπόλλυε destroy, ὑπέρ for οὗ whom Χριστός Christ ἀπέθανεν. died. Μή Not βλασφημείσθω let be spoken of as evil, οὖν therefore, ὑμῶν your τό - ἀγαθόν. good. οὐ Not γάρ for ἐστίν is ἡ the βασιλεία kingdom τοῦ - Θεοῦ of God βρῶσις eating καί and πόσις drinking, ἀλλά but δικαιοσύνη righteousness καί and εἰρήνη peace καί and χαρά joy ἐν in [the] Πνεύματι Spirit Ἁγίῳ· Holy. ὁ The [one] γάρ for ἐν in τούτῳ these things δουλεύων serving τῷ - Χριστῷ Christ εὐάρεστος [is] well-pleasing τῷ - Θεῷ to God καί and δόκιμος approved τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις. by men. Ἄρα So οὖν then, τά the things τῆς - εἰρήνης of peace διώκωμεν we should pursue, καί and τά the things τῆς - οἰκοδομῆς for edification τῆς - εἰς among ἀλλήλους. each other. μή Not ἕνεκεν for the sake of βρώματος food, κατάλυε destroy τό the ἔργον work τοῦ - Θεοῦ. of God. πάντα All things μέν indeed [are] καθαρά, clean, ἀλλά but κακόν [it is] wrong τῷ to the ἀνθρώπῳ man τῷ - διά through προσκόμματος a stumbling block ἐσθίοντι. eating. καλόν [It is] good τό - μή neither φαγεῖν to eat κρέα meat, μηδέ nor πιεῖν to drink οἶνον wine, μηδέ nor [anything] ἐν in ᾧ which ὁ the ἀδελφός brother σου of you προσκόπτει. stumbles. Σύ You πίστιν [the] faith ἥν that ἔχεις have, κατά to σεαυτόν yourself ἔχε keep ἐνώπιον before τοῦ - Θεοῦ. God. μακάριος Blessed [is] ὁ the [one] μή not κρίνων judging ἑαυτόν himself ἐν in ᾧ what δοκιμάζει· he approves. ὁ The [one] δέ however διακρινόμενος doubting, ἐάν if φάγῃ he eats, κατακέκριται, has been condemned, ὅτι because [it is] οὐ not ἐκ of πίστεως· faith; πᾶν everything δέ now ὅ that [is] οὐ not ἐκ of πίστεως faith, ἁμαρτία sin ἐστίν. is.
