Comparison
Romans 13
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God. | Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit: non est enim potestas nisi a Deo: quae autem sunt, a Deo ordinatae sunt. |
| 2 | Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation. | Itaque qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit. Qui autem resistunt, ipsi sibi damnationem acquirunt: |
| 3 | For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same. | nam principes non sunt timori boni operis, sed mali. Vis autem non timere potestatem? Bonum fac: et habebis laudem ex illa: |
| 4 | For he is God’s minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God’s minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. | Dei enim minister est tibi in bonum. Si autem malum feceris, time: non enim sine causa gladium portat. Dei enim minister est: vindex in iram ei qui malum agit. |
| 5 | Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. | Ideo necessitate subditi estote non solum propter iram, sed etiam propter conscientiam. |
| 6 | For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose. | Ideo enim et tributa praestatis: ministri enim Dei sunt, in hoc ipsum servientes. |
| 7 | Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour. | Reddite ergo omnibus debita: cui tribulatum, tributum: cui vectigal, vectigal: cui timorem, timorem: cui honorem, honorem. |
| 8 | Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law. | Nemini quidquam debeatis, nisi ut invicem diligatis: qui enim diligit proximum, legem implevit. |
| 9 | For 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 comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. | Nam: Non adultabis: non occides: non furaberis: non falsum testimonium dices: non concupisces: et si quod est aliud mandatum, in hoc verbo instauratur: diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum. |
| 10 | The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law. | Dilectio proximi malum non operatur. Plenitudo ergo legis est dilectio. |
| 11 | And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. | Et hoc scientes tempus: quia hora est iam nos de somno surgere. Nunc enim propior est nostra salus, quam cum credidimus. |
| 12 | The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light. | Nox praecessit, dies autem appropinquavit. Abiiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum, et induamur arma lucis. |
| 13 | Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy: | Sicut in die honeste ambulemus: non in comessationibus, et ebrietatibus, non in cubilibus, et impudicitiis, non in contentione, et aemulatione: |
| 14 | But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences. | sed induimini Dominum Iesum Christum, et carnis curam ne feceritis in desideriis. |
