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

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

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

²let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it?

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

³are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?

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.

⁴we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.

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

⁵For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;

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

⁶this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

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

⁷for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

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

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

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

⁹knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

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

¹⁰for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

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

¹¹so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

¹²Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

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

¹³neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

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

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

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

¹⁵What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

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?

¹⁶have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

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

¹⁷and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and — were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

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

¹⁸and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

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.

¹⁹In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness — to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness — to sanctification,

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

²⁰for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

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

²¹what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.

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

²²And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit — to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

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

²³for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
