chapter thirteen

¹let every one themselves be subject to the higher authorities, because it is there is not any authority, except of Hashem, and the existing authorities are set become from Hashem.

²so then, the one, who resist himself against the power, that (one) resists self against Hashem's ordinance; and the rebels, will over themselves receive a judgment.

³because the rulers are not any terror for the one, who does good, but for the one, who does evil. (if) you want however not fear to have before the authority? then do the good, and you (SG) will have from it a praise;

⁴because it is Hashem's servant for your sake to the good. when however you (SG) do the evil, then have fear; because not in vain bears it the sword; because it is Hashem's servant to carry out wrath (punishment) on the one, who does evil things.

⁵therefore must one self be subject, not only on account of the wrath, but also on account of the conscience.

⁶for this reason pay you (PL) also taxes, because they (the people in power) are Hashem's servants and occupy themselves with the this one thing.

⁷give up every one that, which you (PL) are obligated: tax, to whom tax belongs, tariff, to whom tariff belongs, fear the one, whom fear belongs, honor, to whom honor belongs.

⁸be anyone nothing in debt, except love to have one the other; because the one, who has love the other, has fulfill did the Torah.

⁹because you (SG) shall not adultery commit, you (SG) shall not murder, you (SG) shall not steal, you (SG) shall not covet (Exodus 20, 13-17), and every other command, are bound up together in the this word: you (SG) shall love have your neighbor as you yourself. (Leviticus 19, 18.)

¹⁰the love does the neighbor not in no way evil not; therefore is the love the fulfilment of the Torah.

¹¹and the these shall you (PL) do, knowing the time, that the hour is already came, to rise from sleep; because now is our salvation nearer, than when we did begin to believe.

¹²the night is passed and the day has itself come nearer; let us then cast off the deeds of the darkness and put on the weapon of the light.

¹³let us walk humbly, as by day, not gorging and guzzling, not in fornication and debauchery, not in dissensions and in envy.

¹⁴but put on the L-rd Yehoshua the Moshiach, and see, that your worries for the body shall not lead to the satisfying the lusts.
