Romans 12:9-13:7

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ Love without feigning, hating evil, drawing to good [cleaving, or fast drawing, to good thing];

¹⁰ loving together the charity of brotherhood. Each come before to worship (the) other [Coming before together in honour];

¹¹ not slow in busyness, fervent in spirit, serving to the Lord,

¹² joying in hope, patient in tribulation, busy in prayer,

¹³ giving good to the needs of saints, keeping hospitality.

¹⁴ Bless ye men that pursue you; bless ye, and do not ye curse;

¹⁵ for to joy with men that joy, for to weep with men that weep.

¹⁶ Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding high things, but consenting to meek things^[a]. Do not ye be prudent with yourselves;

¹⁷ to no man yielding evil for evil, but purvey ye good things, not only before God, but also before all men.

¹⁸ If it may be done, that that is of you, have ye peace with all men.

¹⁹ Ye most dear brethren, not defending yourselves, but give ye place to wrath [Ye most dear-worthy brethren, not defending, or venging, yourselves, but give ye place to ire, or wrath]; for it is written, The Lord saith, To me vengeance, and I shall yield [again].

²⁰ But if thine enemy hungereth, feed thou him; if he thirsteth, give thou drink to him; for thou doing this thing shalt gather together coals on his head. [But if thine enemy shall hunger, feed him; if he thirsteth, give drink to him; forsooth doing these things thou shalt gather together coals on his head.]

²¹ Do not thou be overcome of evil, but overcome thou evil by good.

13 Every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but of God, and those things that be of God, be ordained.

² Therefore he that against-standeth power, against-standeth the ordinance of God; and they that against-stand, get to themselves damnation.

³ For princes be not to the dread of good work, but of evil. But wilt thou, that thou dread not power? Do thou good thing, and thou shalt have praising of it [Soothly wilt thou not dread power? Do good, and thou shalt have praising of it];

⁴ for he is the minister of God to thee into good. But if thou doest evil, dread thou [Soothly, if thou doest evil, dread]; for not without cause he beareth the sword, for he is the minister of God, venger into wrath to him that doeth evil.

⁵ And therefore by need be ye subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience.

⁶ For therefore [and] ye give tributes, they be the ministers of God, and serve for this same thing [for this same thing serving].

⁷ Therefore yield ye to all men debts, to whom tribute, tribute, to whom toll, toll [to whom toll, or custom for things borne about, toll, or such custom], to whom dread, dread, to whom honour, honour.
