TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:5 The two reasons for submission sum up the argument of 13:1-4 in reverse order: to avoid punishment relates to 13:3-4, while to keep a clear conscience refers to 13:1-2.
• The word conscience (Greek suneidēsis) refers to the painful knowledge of wrongdoing. Christians know about their duty to submit to governing authorities, and their failure to do so would bring the pain of a guilty conscience.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

therefore

See how you translated this word in 1:24.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑποτάσσεσθαι

/to_be/_being_subjected

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: “to subject yourselves”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑποτάσσεσθαι

/to_be/_being_subjected

Paul implies that his readers should be subjected to the rulers described in 13:1–4. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to be subjected to rulers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

διὰ τὴν ὀργὴν, ἀλλὰ καὶ διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν

because_of the wrath but also because_of ¬the conscience

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “because of the wrathful deeds they can do to you, but also because your conscience knows that you should do submit to them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ὀργὴν & τὴν συνείδησιν

the wrath & ¬the conscience

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wrath and conscience, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “what is wrathful … what you know is right”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν ὀργὴν

the wrath

See how you translated this word in the previous verse.
