Romawa 13:3-12

³Don kuwa mahukunta ba abin tsoro ne ga masu nagarta ba, amma ga masu aikata laifi. Kuna so ku zama marasa tsoron hukuma? Kuyi abu nagari, zaku sami yabo daga yin hakan.

⁴Saboda shi bawan Allah ne a gare ku don nagarta. Amma in kun yi abu mara kyau, kuyi tsoro, saboda ba ya dauke da takobi ba tare da dalili ba. Don shi bawan Allah ne mai saka wa mugu da fushi.

⁵Saboda haka dole kuyi biyayya, ba don fushi ba, amma saboda lamiri.

⁶Saboda wannan ne kuke biyan haraji. Don masu mulki bayin Allah ne, wadanda suke yin haka kullum.

⁷Ku bawa kowa hakkinsa; haraji ga mai haraji; kudin fito ga mai fito; tsoro ga wanda ya cancanci tsoro; girma ga wanda cancanci girmamawa.

⁸Kada ku rike bashin kowa, sai dai ku kaunaci juna. Domin duk wanda ya kaunaci dan'uwansa ya cika doka.

⁹To, “Kada kuyi zina, kada kuyi kisa, kada kuyi sata, kada kuyi kyashi, idan har akwai wata doka kuma, an takaita ta a wannan jimlar: “Ka kaunaci dan'uwanka kamar kanka.”

¹⁰Kauna bata cutar da makwabci. Domin haka, kauna tace cikar shari'a.

¹¹Saboda wannan, kun san lokaci yayi, ku farka daga barci. Domin cetonmu yana kusa fiye da yadda muke tsammani.

¹²Dare yayi nisa, gari ya kusan wayewa. Don haka, sai mu rabu da ayyukan duhu, mu yafa makaman haske.
