Romans, 6

1. So what shall we say? Should we remain in sin, so that grace may abound?

1. Što æemo dakle reæi? Da ostanemo u grijehu da milost izobiluje?

2. Let it not be so! For how can we who have died to sin still live in sin?

2. Nipošto! Jednom umrli grijehu, kako da još živimo u njemu?

3. Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized in Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death?

3. Ili zar ne znate: koji smo god kršteni u Krista Isusa, u smrt smo njegovu kršteni.

4. For through baptism we have been buried with him into death, so that, in the manner that Christ rose from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in the newness of life.

4. Krštenjem smo dakle zajedno s njime ukopani u smrt da kao što Krist slavom Oèevom bi uskrišen od mrtvih, i mi tako hodimo u novosti života.

5. For if we have been planted together, in the likeness of his death, so shall we also be, in the likeness of his resurrection.

5. Ako smo doista s njime srasli po sliènosti smrti njegovoj, oèito æemo srasti i po sliènosti njegovu uskrsnuæu.

6. For we know this: that our former selves have been crucified together with him, so that the body which is of sin may be destroyed, and moreover, so that we may no longer serve sin.

6. Ovo znamo: naš je stari èovjek zajedno s njim raspet da onemoæa ovo grešno tijelo te više ne robujemo grijehu.

7. For he who has died has been justified from sin.

7. Ta tko umre, opravdan je od grijeha.

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

8. Pa ako umrijesmo s Kristom, vjerujemo da æemo i živjeti zajedno s njime.

9. For we know that Christ, in rising up from the dead, can no longer die: death no longer has dominion over him.

9. Znamo doista: Krist uskrišen od mrtvih, više ne umire, smrt njime više ne gospoduje.

10. For in as much as he died for sin, he died once. But in as much as he lives, he lives for God.

10. Što umrije, umrije grijehu jednom zauvijek; a što živi, živi Bogu.

11. And so, you should consider yourselves to be certainly dead to sin, and to be living for God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

11. Tako i vi: smatrajte sebe mrtvima grijehu, a živima Bogu u Kristu Isusu!

12. Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body, such that you would obey its desires.

12. Neka dakle ne kraljuje grijeh u vašem smrtnom tijelu da slušate njegove požude;

13. Nor should you offer the parts of your body as instruments of iniquity for sin. Instead, offer yourselves to God, as if you were living after death, and offer the parts of your body as instruments of justice for God.

13. i ne predajite grijehu udova svojih za oružje nepravde, nego sebe, od mrtvih oživjele, predajte Bogu i udove svoje dajte Bogu za oružje pravednosti.

14. For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.

14. Valjda grijeh neæe vama gospodovati! Ta niste pod Zakonom nego pod milošæu!

15. What is next? Should we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Let it not be so!

15. Što dakle? Da griješimo jer nismo pod Zakonom nego pod milošæu? Nipošto!

16. Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto justice.

16. Ne znate li: ako se komu predate za robove, na poslušnost, robovi ste onoga koga slušate: bilo grijeha - na smrt, bilo poslušnosti - na pravednost.

17. But thanks be to God that, though you used to be the servants of sin, now you have been obedient from the heart to the very form of the doctrine into which you have been received.

17. Bijaste robovi grijeha, ali ste, hvala Bogu, od srca poslušali ono pravilo nauka kojemu ste povjereni;

18. And having been freed from sin, we have become servants of justice.

18. da, osloboðeni grijeha, postadoste sluge pravednosti.

19. I am speaking in human terms because of the infirmity of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of your body to serve impurity and iniquity, for the sake of iniquity, so also have you now yielded the parts of your body to serve justice, for the sake of sanctification.

19. Po ljudsku govorim zbog vaše ljudske slabosti: kao što nekoæ predadoste udove svoje za robove neèistoæi i bezakonju - do bezakonja, tako sada predajte udove svoje za robove pravednosti - do posveæenja.

20. For though you were once the servants of sin, you have become the children of justice.

20. Uistinu, kad bijaste robovi grijeha, "slobodni" bijaste od pravednosti.

21. But what fruit did you hold at that time, in those things about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

21. Pa kakav ste plod onda imali? Onoga se sada stidite jer svršetak je tomu - smrt.

22. Yet truly, having been freed now from sin, and having been made servants of God, you hold your fruit in sanctification, and truly its end is eternal life.

22. Sada pak pošto ste osloboðeni grijeha i postali sluge Božje, imate plod svoj za posveæenje, a svršetak - život vjeèni.

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

23. Jer plaæa je grijeha smrt, a dar Božji jest život vjeèni u Kristu Isusu, Gospodinu našem.
