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.

倘若你們為使良心對得起上帝，忍受冤屈的痛苦，這是可讚許的。

我勸你因上帝誓言的緣故，當遵守王的命令。

你們為主的緣故要順服人的一切制度，或是在上的君王，或是君王所派懲惡賞善的官員。因為上帝的旨意原是要你們以行善來堵住糊塗無知人的口。

不過，要以溫柔、敬畏的心回答。要存無虧的良心，使你們在何事上被毀謗，就在何事上使那些凌辱你們在基督裏有好品行的人自覺羞愧。

你要提醒眾人，叫他們順服執政的、掌權的，要服從，預備行各樣善事。不要毀謗，不要爭吵，要和氣，對眾人總要顯出溫柔。

請你們為我們禱告；因為我們自覺良心無虧，願意凡事按正道而行。

因此，我勉勵自己，對上帝對人，時常存着無虧的良心。

隨後大衛心中自責，因為他割下了掃羅的衣角。他對他的人說：「耶和華絕不允許我對我的主，耶和華的受膏者做這事，伸手害他，因為他是耶和華的受膏者。」
