¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

¹Nuž čo tedy povieme? Či zostaneme v hriechu, aby sa rozmnožila milosť?

²God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

²Nech sa nestane! Lebo veď ktorí sme zomreli hriechu - jako budeme ešte žiť v ňom?!

³Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

³Alebo či neviete, že všetci, ktorí sme pokrstení v Krista Ježiša, pokrstení sme v jeho smrť?

⁴We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

⁴Pohrobení sme tedy s ním skrze krst v smrť, aby sme, jako Kristus vstal z mŕtvych slávou Otcovou, tak aj my chodili v novote života.

⁵For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection;

⁵Lebo ak sme sa stali spolusrastlými podobnosťou jeho smrti, ale takými aj podobnosťou vzkriesenia budeme

⁶knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

⁶vediac to, že náš starý človek je spolu ukrižovaný, aby bolo zmarené telo hriechu čo do svojej pôsobnosti, aby sme viacej neslúžili hriechu.

⁷for he that hath died is justified from sin.

⁷Lebo ten, kto zomrel, je už ospravedlnený od hriechu.

⁸But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁸Ale ak sme zomreli s Kristom, veríme, že budeme s ním aj spolu žiť

⁹knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

⁹vediac, že Kristus vstanúc z mŕtvych už viacej nezomiera; smrť viacej nepanuje nad ním.

¹⁰For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹⁰Lebo čo zomrel, hriechu zomrel raz navždy, a čo žije, žije Bohu.

¹¹Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹¹Tak aj vy súďte o sebe, že ste mŕtvi hriechu, ale živí Bohu v Kristu Ježišovi, v našom Pánovi.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

¹²Nech tedy nekraľuje hriech vo vašom smrteľnom tele, aby ste ho poslúchali, totiž hriech, v jeho, to jest tela, žiadostiach

¹³neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

¹³ani nevydávajte svojich údov za nástroje neprávosti, ale sa oddajte Bohu jako živí z mŕtvych a svoje údy za nástroje spravedlivosti Bohu;

¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁴lebo hriech nebude panovať nad vami, pretože nie ste pod zákonom, ale pod milosťou.

¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹⁵Tak čo tedy? Či budeme hrešiť, keď nie sme pod zákonom, ale pod milosťou? Nech sa nestane!

¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

¹⁶Či neviete, že komu sa vydávate za sluhov cieľom poslušnosti, že ste sluhami toho, koho poslúchate - buď sluhami hriechu na smrť buď sluhami poslušnosti na spravedlivosť?

¹⁷But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;

¹⁷No, vďaka Bohu, že pravda boli ste sluhami hriechu, ale ste zo srdca poslúchli druh náuky, do ktorého ste vydaní,

¹⁸and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

¹⁸a oslobodení súc od hriechu podrobení ste v službu spravedlivosti.

¹⁹I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

¹⁹Po ľudsky hovorím pre slabosť vášho tela: Lebo jako ste boli vydali svoje údy za sluhov nečistote a neprávosti robiť neprávosť, tak teraz vydajte svoje údy za sluhov spravedlivosti na posvätenie.

²⁰For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.

²⁰Lebo keď ste boli sluhami hriechu, boli ste slobodní spravedlivosti.

²¹What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

²¹Nuž akýže ste mali vtedy užitok z toho, za čo sa teraz hanbíte? Lebo koniec toho je smrť.

²²But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

²²Ale teraz oslobodení súc od hriechu a v službu podrobení Bohu máte svoj užitok na posvätenie a koniec večný život.

²³For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²³Lebo odplatou za hriech je smrť, ale darom Božím z milosti je večný život v Kristu Ježišovi, v našom Pánovi.
