Rimljanom 6
1 Kaj bomo potem rekli? Ali bomo nadaljevali v grehu, da bo milost lahko obilna?
What then shall we say? are we still to continue in sin that favour may abound?
2 Bog ne daj. Kako bomo mi, ki smo mrtvi grehu, še živeli v njem?
Far be it! we who have died unto sin, how, any longer, shall we live therein?
3 Ali ne veste, da tako mnogi izmed nas, ki smo bili krščeni v Jezusa Kristusa, smo bili krščeni v njegovo smrt?
Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ [Jesus], into his death were immersed?
4 Torej smo s krstom z njim pokopani v smrt, da naj bi podobno kakor je bil Kristus obujen od mrtvih po Očetovi slavi, točno tako tudi mi hodili v novosti življenja.
We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order that—just as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk.
5 Kajti če smo bili skupaj posajeni v podobnost njegove smrti, bomo tudi v podobnost njegovega vstajenja,
For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be.
6 ker vemo to, da je naš stari človek križan z njim, da bi bilo telo greha lahko uničeno, da naj odslej ne bi več služili grehu.
Of this taking note—that, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;
7 Kajti kdor je mrtev, je osvobojen pred grehom.
For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin.
8 Torej, če smo s Kristusom mrtvi, verujemo, da bomo z njim tudi živeli,
Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him;
9 vedoč, da Kristus, ko je bil obujen od mrtvih, nič več ne umira; nad njim smrt nima več gospostva.
Knowing that, Christ having been raised from among the dead, no more dieth, —death, over him, no more, hath lordship, —
10 Kajti kdor je umrl, je enkrat umrl grehu, toda kdor živi, živi Bogu.
For, in that he died, unto sin, died he once for all, but, in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Prav tako tudi sebe štejte za zares mrtve grehu, toda žive za Boga, po Jezusu Kristusu, našem Gospodu.
So, ye also, be reckoning yourselves to be—dead indeed unto sin, but, alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12 Ne dopustite, da torej greh kraljuje v vašem umrljivem telesu, da bi ga morali ubogati v njegovih poželenjih.
Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death-doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings;
13 Niti ne dajajte svojih udov grehu, kot orodja krivičnosti, temveč dajte sebe Bogu, kakor tisti, ki so od mrtvih živi in svoje ude kot orodja pravičnosti Bogu.
Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God;
14 Kajti greh nad vami ne bo imel gospostva; kajti niste pod postavo, temveč pod milostjo.
For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour.
15 Kaj torej? Mar bomo grešili, ker nismo pod postavo, temveč pod milostjo? Bog ne daj.
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it!
16 Ali ne veste, da komur same sebe dajete [za] služabnike v pokorščino, ste njegovi služabniki, komur se pokoravate; bodisi grehu v smrt ali poslušnosti v pravičnost?
Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto [him unto] whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Toda hvala Bogu, da ste bili služabniki grehu, vendar ste iz srca ubogali to obliko nauka, ki vam je bil izročen.
But thanks be unto God, that—whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered;
18 Ko ste bili torej osvobojeni greha, ste postali služabniki pravičnosti.
And, being freed from sin, ye were made servants unto righteousness; —
19 Zaradi šibkosti vašega mesa govorim po običaju ljudi; kajti kakor ste svoje služabniške ude dali nečistosti in krivičnosti za krivičnost; točno tako dajte sedaj svoje služabniške ude pravičnosti za svetost.
In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; —for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness [for lawlessness], so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.
20 Kajti ko ste bili služabniki grehu, ste bili svobodni, [prosti] pred pravičnostjo.
For, when ye were servants of sin, ye were free as to righteousness; —
21 Kakšen sad ste takrat imeli v tistih stvareh, ki se jih sedaj sramujete? Kajti konec tistih stvari je smrt.
What fruit, therefore, had ye then—in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.
