Poslanica Rimljanima 5

Vjera donosi radost

1 Opravdani smo dakle u Božjim očima vjerom te pomireni s Bogom zbog onoga što je naš Gospodin Isus Krist za nas učinio.

2 Zbog vjere u njega možemo pristupiti najvećoj milosti i radujemo se nadi Božje slave.
3 Možemo se radovati i kad smo u nevolji jer znamo da je to za naše dobro - jača našu strpljivost.4 Strpljivost donosi prokušanost, a prokušanost nadu.

5 Zbog tog se očekivanja nećemo postidjeti. Jer znamo da nas Bog silno ljubi - ulio je tu ljubav u naša srca po Svetom Duhu.
6 Kad smo bili potpuno bespomoćni, Krist je došao u pravo vrijeme i umro za nas grešnike.7 Za dobra čovjeka malo bi tko bio voljan umrijeti, iako bi se za izvanredno dobra čovjeka možda i našao tko da za njega dade život.8 No Bog je pokazao svoju veliku ljubav prema nama time što je poslao Krista da umre za nas dok smo još bili grešnici.9 A kako smo mi u Božjim očima opravdani Kristovom krvlju, on će nas sigurno spasiti od Božjega suda.10 Jer kako nas je, dok smo još bili Božji neprijatelji, s njime pomirila smrt njegova Sina, tako će nas život njegova Sina sigurno osloboditi vječne kazne.

11 Zato se sada možemo radovati svojemu novom odnosu prema Bogu - zato što nas je naš Gospodin Isus Krist pomirio s Bogom.

Adam je donio smrt, a Krist život

12 Kad je Adam zgriješio, grijeh je ušao u sav ljudski rod. A budući da je taj Adamov grijeh donio smrt, smrt je prešla na sve ljude jer su svi zgriješili.13 Doista, ljudi su griješili i prije nego što su dobili Zakon. Ali iako još nije bilo zakona koji bi kršili,14 svi su oni - od Adama do Mojsija - umrli iako nisu prekršili jasnu Božju zapovijed kao što je to Adam učinio. Kakve li razlike između Adama i Krista koji je tek trebao doći!15 Kako su različiti naši grijesi od Božjega milostivog dara! Jer taj jedan čovjek, Adam, svojim je grijehom mnogima donio smrt. Ali zato se na mnoge obilno izlila Božja milost oproštenja grijeha, darovana po jednome čovjeku - Isusu Kristu.16 S darom Božje milosti nije kao s posljedicama grijeha jednoga čovjeka - jer presuda nad Adamovim grijehom postala je osudom nad svima, a dar Božjega oproštenja nam je - nakon mnogih grijeha koje smo počinili - postao opravdanjem.17 Jer Adamovim je grijehom kroz jednog čovjeka nad nama zakraljila smrt, ali koji prime izobilni milosni dar pravednosti, živjet će u pobjedi nad grijehom i smrću - po jednome Čovjeku, Isusu Kristu.18 Prema tome, kao što je grijehom jednoga došla osuda na sve ljude, tako su pravednošću Jednoga na sve došli opravdanje i život.19 Baš kao što su zbog neposluha jednoga čovjeka mnogi postali grešnicima, tako će i zbog poslušnosti Jednoga mnogi postati pravednicima u Božjim očima.20 Božji je Zakon dan ljudima da uvide kako su grešnici. Ali kako su ljudi sve više i više griješili, Božja divna milost sve se obilnije izlijevala.

21 Baš kao što je grijeh nekada vladao nad svim ljudima i vodio ih u smrt, tako sada nad njima kraljuje Božja milost i opravdava ih pred Bogom da bi mogli imati vječni život po našemu Gospodinu Isusu Kristu.

Romans 5

The Expectation of Justification

1 s Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we haves peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoicet in the hope of God’s glory.3 Nott only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,4 and endurance, character, and character, hope.

5 And hope does not disappoint, because the love of Godt has been poured outs in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.7 (For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)s8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.9 Much more then, because we have now been declared righteoust by his blood,t we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.t10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

11 Nott only this, but we also rejoicet in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

The Amplification of Justification

12 So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all peoplet becauset all sinned –13 for before the law was given,t sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sint when there is no law.14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a typet of the coming one) transgressed.t15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression.t For if the many died through the transgression of the one man,s how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!16 And the gift is not like the one who sinned.t For judgment, resulting from the one transgression,t led to condemnation, butt the gracious gift from the many failurest led to justification.

17 For if, by the transgression of the one man,s death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently,t just as condemnationt for all peoplet camet through one transgression,s so too through the one righteous acts came righteousness leading to lifet for all people.19 For just as through the disobedience of the one mans manyt were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one mans manyt will be made righteous.20 Now the law came int so that the transgressiont may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
