OET interlinear ROM 13:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἐξουσίαις ὑπερεχούσαις ὑποτασσέσθω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πάσα ψυχή ἐξουσίαις ὑπερεχούσαις ὑποτασσέσθω οὒ γάρ ἐστίν ἐξουσία εἰ μή ὑπό Θεοῦ αἱ δέ οὖσαι ὑπό Θεοῦ τεταγμέναι εἰσίν)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Let every soul subject itself to governing authorities] or [Let everyone subject themselves to governing authorities]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

πᾶσα ψυχὴ

Paul uses soul here to refer to the whole life of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [every human being]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐξουσίαις & ἐξουσία & οὖσαι

If your readers would misunderstand this double negative, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [all authority comes from God]
