Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

You must obey the authorities. Then you will not be punished. You must also obey them because you know it is right.

Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath but also because of your conscience.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for the sake of conscience.

Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.

Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience.

Wherefore[ ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.

Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

凡橫逆之來、如能懷念天主而忍受之、斯可嘉矣。

爾等應為天主之故、順服在位執權之人。君王乃人間元首、固無論焉；即其所派之督撫、亦無非為懲惡勸善而設也。蓋天主之意欲爾行善以塞愚夫愚婦悠悠之口。

心地務求光明磊落、無愧無怍、庶幾因爾從基督而謗爾者、見爾所為皆善、而自慚其誣。

望汝提醒眾人、務宜順服官長有司從命如流、奉行百善、勿訕謗勿爭競。待人接物、務宜心氣和平、寬裕溫柔、

請為吾儕祈求；蓋吾儕自問於心無愧日用之間、惟求遵行正道而已。

予之所以發奮自勉、務求心地光明、對主對人、無所愧怍者、正為此耳。
