Rimljanima 6
1 Što ćemo dakle reći? Da ostanemo u grijehu da milost izobiluje?
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Nipošto! Jednom umrli grijehu, kako da još živimo u njemu?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Ili zar ne znate: koji smo god kršteni u Krista Isusa, u smrt smo njegovu kršteni.
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Krštenjem smo dakle zajedno s njime ukopani u smrt da kao što Krist slavom Očevom bi uskrišen od mrtvih, i mi tako hodimo u novosti života.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Ako smo doista s njime srasli po sličnosti smrti njegovoj, očito ćemo srasti i po sličnosti njegovu uskrsnuću.
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 Ovo znamo: naš je stari čovjek zajedno s njim raspet da onemoća ovo grešno tijelo te više ne robujemo grijehu.
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 Ta tko umre, opravdan je od grijeha.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Pa ako umrijesmo s Kristom, vjerujemo da ćemo i živjeti zajedno s njime.
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 Znamo doista: Krist uskrišen od mrtvih, više ne umire, smrt njime više ne gospoduje.
knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 Što umrije, umrije grijehu jednom zauvijek; a što živi, živi Bogu.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Tako i vi: smatrajte sebe mrtvima grijehu, a živima Bogu u Kristu Isusu!
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Neka dakle ne kraljuje grijeh u vašem smrtnom tijelu da slušate njegove požude;
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 i ne predajite grijehu udova svojih za oružje nepravde, nego sebe, od mrtvih oživjele, predajte Bogu i udove svoje dajte Bogu za oružje pravednosti.
Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Valjda grijeh neće vama gospodovati! Ta niste pod Zakonom nego pod milošću!
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Što dakle? Da griješimo jer nismo pod Zakonom nego pod milošću? Nipošto!
What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 Ne znate li: ako se komu predate za robove, na poslušnost, robovi ste onoga koga slušate: bilo grijeha - na smrt, bilo poslušnosti - na pravednost.
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 Bijaste robovi grijeha, ali ste, hvala Bogu, od srca poslušali ono pravilo nauka kojemu ste povjereni;
But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 da, oslobođeni grijeha, postadoste sluge pravednosti.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 Po ljudsku govorim zbog vaše ljudske slabosti: kao što nekoć predadoste udove svoje za robove nečistoći i bezakonju - do bezakonja, tako sada predajte udove svoje za robove pravednosti - do posvećenja.
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Uistinu, kad bijaste robovi grijeha, “slobodni” bijaste od pravednosti.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 Pa kakav ste plod onda imali? Onoga se sada stidite jer svršetak je tomu - smrt.
What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
