¹Zatorej ni sedaj nobene obsodbe za te, ki so v Kristusu Jezusu.

¹There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. NU omits “who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit”

²Zakaj postava Duha življenja v Kristusu Jezusu me je osvobodila postave greha in smrti.

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

³Kar je namreč bilo postavi nemogoče, v čemer je bila nezmožna zaradi mesa, to je storil Bog, ko je poslal svojega Sina v podobnosti grešnega mesa in kot daritev za greh, in je greh obsodil v mesu,

³For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

⁴da se izpolni pravična zahteva postave v nas, ki živimo ne po mesu, ampak po duhu.

⁴that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵Kajti kateri so po mesu, mislijo na to, kar je mesenega, a kateri so po duhu, na to, kar je duhovnega.

⁵For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁶Kajti meseno mišljenje je smrt, a duhovno mišljenje je življenje in mir;

⁶For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

⁷zato ker je meseno mišljenje sovraštvo do Boga, ker se Božji postavi ne pokorava, saj se tudi ne more.

⁷because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

⁸Kateri so pa v mesu, Bogu ne morejo biti prijetni.

⁸Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

⁹A vi niste v mesu, ampak v duhu, ako Božji Duha prebiva v vas. Če pa kdo Duha Kristusovega nima, ta ni njegov.

⁹But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

¹⁰Če je pa Kristus v vas, je sicer telo mrtvo zavoljo greha, duh pa je življenje zavoljo pravičnosti.

¹⁰If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

¹¹Če pa Duh tistega, ki je obudil Jezusa iz mrtvih, prebiva v vas, on, ki je obudil Kristusa Jezusa iz mrtvih, oživi tudi smrtna telesa vaša zaradi Duha svojega, ki prebiva v vas.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

¹²Tako torej, bratje, nismo dolžniki mesu, da živimo po mesu;

¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

¹³zakaj če po mesu živite, umrjete, če pa z Duhom morite dejanja mesa, boste živeli.

¹³For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴Kajti katerekoli vodi Duh Božji, ti so sinovi Božji.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

¹⁵Niste namreč prejeli duha sužnosti zopet v bojazen, ampak prejeli ste Duha sinovstva, ki v njem kličemo: Aba, Oče!

¹⁵For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven. ! Father!”

¹⁶Ta Duh sam izpričuje z našim duhom vred, da smo otroci Božji.

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

¹⁷Če smo pa otroci, smo tudi dediči, in sicer dediči Božji in sodediči Kristusovi, ako ž njim trpimo, da se tudi ž njim oslavimo.

¹⁷and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

¹⁸Mislim namreč, da trpljenje sedanjega časa ni vredno, da se primerja prihodnji slavi, ki se ima razodeti na nas.

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

¹⁹Kajti koprnenje vseh stvari pričakuje razodetja sinov Božjih.

¹⁹For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

²⁰Zakaj stvari so podvržene ničemurnosti, ne iz lastne volje, ampak zavoljo tistega, ki jih je podvrgel, z upanjem,

²⁰For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

²¹da bo tudi stvarstvo samo rešeno iz sužnjevanja minljivosti v svobodo slave otrok Božjih.

²¹that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

²²Vemo namreč, da vse stvarstvo skupno zdihuje in je v porodnih bolečinah prav do sedaj.

²²For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

²³Pa ne samo ono, temuč i mi sami, ki imamo prvine Duha, tudi mi sami v sebi zdihujemo, čakajoč sinovstva, odrešitve svojega telesa.

²³Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

²⁴V upanju namreč smo zveličani; upanje pa, ki se vidi, ni upanje; saj če kdo kaj vidi, čemu bi se tega še nadejal?

²⁴For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

²⁵Če pa upamo, česar ne vidimo, čakamo tega s potrpežljivostjo.

²⁵But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

²⁶Enako pa pomaga tudi Duh našim slabostim. Kajti česa naj prosimo, kakor je treba, ne vemo; temuč Duh sam prosi za nas z neizrečnimi vzdihi.

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

²⁷Ta pa, ki preiskuje srca, ve, kaj je misel Duha, ker po volji Božji prosi za svetnike.

²⁷He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

²⁸Vemo pa, da tem, ki Boga ljubijo, vse služi v dobro, tem, ki so poklicani po sklepu Božjem.

²⁸We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

²⁹Kajti katere je naprej spoznal, te je tudi vnaprej odločil, da bodo enaki podobi njegovega Sinu, da bi on prvorojenec bil med mnogimi brati.

²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

³⁰In katere je naprej odločil, te je tudi poklical, in katere je poklical, te je tudi opravičil, in katere je opravičil, te je tudi oslavil.

³⁰Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

³¹Kaj torej porečemo na to? Če je Bog z nami, kdo je proti nam?

³¹What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

³²On, ki lastnemu Sinu ni prizanesel, temuč ga je dal za nas vse, kako ne bo tudi ž njim nam vsega podaril?

³²He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

³³Kdo bo tožil proti izvoljencem Božjim? Bog je, ki jih opravičuje.

³³Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

³⁴Kdo je, ki jih bo obsodil? Kristus Jezus je, ki je umrl, pa je tudi vstal, ki je na desnici Boga, ki tudi prosi za nas.

³⁴Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

³⁵Kdo nas bo ločil od ljubezni Kristusove? stiska ali nadloga, ali preganjanje, ali lakota, ali nagota, ali nevarnost, ali meč?

³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶Kakor je pisano: „Zavoljo tebe nas moré ves dan, imajo nas kakor ovce za klanje“.

³⁶Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Psalm 44:22

³⁷Ali v vsem tem slavno premagujemo po tistem, ki nas je ljubil.

³⁷No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³⁸Prepričan sem namreč, da nas ne smrt, ne življenje, ne angeli, ne poglavarstva, ne sile, ne sedanjost, ne prihodnost,ne višina, ne globočina, ne katera druga stvar ne bo mogla ločiti od ljubezni Božje, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu, Gospodu našem.

³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹ne višina, ne globočina, ne katera druga stvar ne bo mogla ločiti od ljubezni Božje, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu, Gospodu našem.

³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
