¹Mis me siis ütleme? Kas püsida patus, et arm suureneks?

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

²Ei, mitte sugugi. Meie, kes oleme patule surnud, kuidas saaksime selles veel elada?

²Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?

³Kas te siis ei tea, et kes me iganes oleme Kristusesse Jeesusesse ristitud, oleme ristitud tema surmasse?

³Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?

⁴Me oleme siis koos temaga maha maetud ristimise kaudu surmasse, et otsekui Kristus on äratatud üles surnuist Isa kirkuse läbi, nõnda võime ka meie käia uues elus.

⁴We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life.

⁵Sest kui me oleme kasvanud kokku tema surma sarnasusega, siis võime seda olla ka ülestõusmise sarnasusega,

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

⁶teades, et meie vana loomus on koos temaga löödud risti, et see patune ihu kaotataks, nii et me kunagi enam ei orjaks pattu.

⁶knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.

⁷Sest kes on surnud, see on patust vabaks mõistetud.

⁷For he that has died is justified from sin.

⁸Kui me oleme aga surnud koos Kristusega, siis usume, et me ka elame koos temaga,

⁸Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,

⁹teades, et Kristus, olles üles äratatud surnuist, enam kunagi ei sure; surm ei valitse teda enam,

⁹knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.

¹⁰sest mis ta suri, seda ta suri patule üks kord ja alatiseks, aga mis ta elab, seda ta elab Jumalale.

¹⁰For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹Nõnda arvestage ka teie endid olevat surnud patule, aga elavat Jumalale Kristuses Jeesuses.

¹¹So also *ye*, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹²Ärgu siis valitsegu patt kuningana teie surelikus ihus, nii et te tema himudele oleksite kuulekad.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.

¹³Ärge ka loovutage oma ihuliikmeid ülekohtu relviks patule, vaid loovutage end Jumalale nagu need, kes on saanud surnuist elavaks, ja oma ihuliikmed õiguse relviks Jumalale.

¹³Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴Sest patt ei valitse enam teie üle, kuna te ei ole Seaduse, vaid armu all.

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

¹⁵Kuidas siis nüüd? Kas hakkame tegema pattu, kuna me ei ole Seaduse, vaid armu all? Kindlasti mitte!

¹⁵What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.

¹⁶Eks te tea, et kelle kuulekusse teie end loovutate orjaks, kelle sõna te kuulate, selle orjad te olete - olgu patu orjad surmaks või kuulekuse orjad õiguseks!

¹⁶Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

¹⁷Aga tänu Jumalale, et te olite küll patu orjad, aga nüüd olete saanud südamest kuulekaks sellele õpetusele, millesse teid on juhatatud,

¹⁷But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.

¹⁸ja patust vabastatuna olete saanud õiguse teenriteks.

¹⁸Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.

¹⁹Ma räägin inimlikul kombel teie loomuse nõtruse pärast. Sest nii nagu te oma liikmed andsite orjaks rüvedusele ja ülekohtule, et teha ülekohut, nõnda andke nüüd oma liikmed õiguse teenritena pühitsuse jaoks.

¹⁹I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.

²⁰Sest kui te olite patu orjad, siis te olite vabad õigusest.

²⁰For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.

²¹Millist vilja te siis kandsite? Niisugust, mille pärast te nüüd häbenete. Sest selle tulemus on surm.

²¹What fruit therefore had ye *then* in the things of which ye are *now* ashamed? for the end of *them* [is] death.

²²Nüüd aga, kui te olete vabastatud patust ja saanud Jumala teenriteks, te kannate vilja pühitsuseks. Ja selle tulemus on igavene elu.

²²But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

²³Sest patu palk on surm, aga Jumala armuand on igavene elu Kristuses Jeesuses, meie Issandas.

²³For the wages of sin [is] death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
