| 1 | Que toute âme se soumette aux autorités qui sont au-dessus d'elle; car il n'existe pas d'autorité, si ce n'est de par Dieu; et celles qui existent sont ordonnées de Dieu; | 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. | Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. |
| 2 | de sorte que celui qui résiste à l'autorité résiste à l'ordonnance de Dieu; et ceux qui résistent feront venir un jugement sur eux-mêmes. | Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. | Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. |
| 3 | Car les magistrats ne sont pas une terreur pour une bonne oeuvre, mais pour une mauvaise. Or veux-tu ne pas craindre l'autorité? fais le bien, et tu recevras d'elle de la louange; | For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: | For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: |
| 4 | car le magistrat est serviteur de Dieu pour ton bien; mais si tu fais le mal, crains; car il ne porte pas l'épée en vain; car il est serviteur de Dieu, vengeur pour exécuter la colère sur celui qui fait le mal. | For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. | for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. |
| 5 | C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire d'être soumis, non seulement à cause de la colère, mais aussi à cause de la conscience. | Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. | Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience` sake. |
| 6 | Car c'est pour cela que vous payez aussi les tributs; - car ils sont ministres de Dieu, s'employant constamment à cela même. | For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. | For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God`s service, attending continually upon this very thing. |
| 7 | Rendez à tous ce qui leur est dû: à qui le tribut, le tribut; à qui le péage, le péage; à qui la crainte, la crainte; à qui l'honneur, l'honneur. | Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. | Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. |
| 8 | Ne devez rien à personne, sinon de vous aimer les uns les autres, car celui qui aime les autres a accompli la loi. | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. | Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. |
| 9 | Car ce qui est dit: "Tu ne commettras point adultère, tu ne tueras point, tu ne déroberas point, tu ne convoiteras point", et tout autre commandement qu'il puisse y avoir, est résumé dans cette parole-ci: "Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même". | 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. | For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
| 10 | L'amour ne fait point de mal au prochain; l'amour donc est la somme de la loi. | Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. | Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. |
| 11 | Et encore ceci: connaissant le temps, que c'est déjà l'heure de nous réveiller du sommeil, car maintenant le salut est plus près de nous que lorsque nous avons cru: | And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. | And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. |
| 12 | la nuit est fort avancée, et le jour s'est approché; rejetons donc les oeuvres des ténèbres, et revêtons les armes de la lumière. | The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. | The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. |
| 13 | Conduisons-vous honnêtement, comme de jour; non point en orgies, ni en ivrogneries; non point en impudicités ni en débauches; non point en querelles ni en envie. | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. | Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. |
| 14 | Mais revêtez le Seigneur Jésus Christ, et ne prenez pas soin de la chair pour satisfaire à ses convoitises. | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. |
