Rimanom 5
1 A tak ospravedlnení z viery, žijeme v pokoji s Bohom skrze nášho Pána Ježiša Krista.2 Skrze neho máme vierou prístup k tej milosti, v ktorej zotrvávame, aj sa chválime nádejou na Božiu slávu.3 A nielen to: chválime sa aj súženiami, veď vieme, že súženie prináša trpezlivosť,4 trpezlivosť osvedčenú čnosť a osvedčená čnosť zasa nádej.5 A nádej nezahanbuje, lebo Božia láska je rozliata v našich srdciach skrze Ducha Svätého, ktorého sme dostali.6 Veď Kristus zomrel v určenom čase za bezbožných, keď sme boli ešte bezmocní.7 Sotvakto zomrie za spravodlivého; hoci za dobrého by sa azda niekto odhodlal umrieť.8 Ale Boh dokazuje svoju lásku k nám tým, že Kristus zomrel za nás, keď sme boli ešte hriešnici.9 Tým skôr sa teda skrze neho zachránime od hnevu teraz, keď sme už ospravedlnení jeho krvou!10 Lebo ak sme boli zmierení s Bohom smrťou jeho Syna vtedy, keď sme boli nepriateľmi, tým skôr už ako zmierení budeme spasení jeho životom.11 A nielen to: ešte sa aj chválime Bohom skrze nášho Pána Ježiša Krista, skrze ktorého sme teraz obsiahli zmierenie.12 Preto ako skrze jedného človeka vstúpil do tohto sveta hriech a skrze hriech smrť, tak aj smrť prešla na všetkých ľudí, lebo všetci zhrešili.13 Hriech bol síce vo svete už pred zákonom, lenže hriech sa nepočíta, keď nieto zákona.14 No smrť panovala od Adama až po Mojžiša aj nad tými, ktorí nespáchali priestupok podobný Adamovmu: on je predobrazom toho, ktorý mal prísť.15 Ale s darom to nie je tak ako s previnením. Lebo ak previnením jedného zomreli mnohí, tým väčšmi sa milosťou jedného človeka, Ježiša Krista, v mnohých rozhojnila Božia milosť a dar.16 A s darom to nie je tak ako s tým, čo prišlo skrze jedného, ktorý zhrešil. Lebo súd pre jedno previnenie priniesol odsúdenie, milosť však prináša ospravedlnenie z mnohých previnení.17 Lebo ak previnením jedného skrze jedného zavládla smrť, tým skôr skrze jedného, Ježiša Krista, budú v živote kraľovať tí, čo dostávajú hojnosť milosti a darovanej spravodlivosti.18 Teda ako previnenie jedného prinieslo odsúdenie všetkým ľuďom, tak spravodlivosť jedného priniesla všetkým ľuďom ospravedlnenie a život.19 Lebo ako sa neposlušnosťou jedného človeka mnohí stali hriešnikmi, tak zasa poslušnosťou jedného sa mnohí stanú spravodlivými.20 A do toho ešte prišiel zákon, aby sa rozmnožilo previnenie. Ale kde sa rozmnožil hriech, tam sa ešte väčšmi rozhojnila milosť,21 aby tak, ako hriech vládol v smrti, aj milosť vládla spravodlivosťou pre večný život skrze Ježiša Krista, nášho Pána.

What It Means //To Be Acceptable //to God
1 By faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, we have peacet with God. 2 Christ has also introduced ust to God's gift of undeserved grace on which we now take our stand. So we are happy, as we look forward to sharing in the glory of God. 3 But that's not all! We gladly suffer, t because we know that suffering helps us to endure. 4 And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope
5 that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.
6 Christ died for us at a time when we were helpless and sinful. 7 No one is really willing to die for an honest person, though someone might be willing to die for a truly good person.
8 But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful.
9 But there is more! Now that God has accepted us because Christ sacrificed his life's blood, we will also be kept safe from God's anger. 10 Even when we were God's enemies, he made peace with us, because his Son died for us. Yet something even greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, we will be saved by the life of his Son.
11 And in addition to everything else, we are happy because God sent our Lord Jesus Christ to make peace with us.Adam and Christ
12 t Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. 13 Sin was in the world before the Law came. But no record of sin was kept, because there was no Law.
14 Yet death still had power over all who lived from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. This happened, though not everyone disobeyed a direct command from God, as Adam did.
In some ways Adam is like Christ who came later.
15 But the gift of God's undeserved grace was very different from Adam's sin. That one sin brought death to many others. Yet in an even greater way, Jesus Christ alone brought God's gift of undeserved grace to many people.
16 There is a lot of difference between Adam's sin and God's gift. That one sin led to punishment. But God's gift made it possible for us to be acceptable to him, even though we have sinned many times.
17 Death ruled like a king because Adam had sinned. But that cannot compare with what Jesus Christ has done. God has treated us with undeserved grace, and he has accepted us because of Jesus. And so we will live and rule like kings.
18 t Everyone was going to be punished because Adam sinned. But because of the good thing that Christ has done, God accepts us and gives us the gift of life.
19 Adam disobeyed God and caused many others to be sinners. But Jesus obeyed him and will make many people acceptable to God.
20 The Law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God's gift of undeserved grace was even more powerful. 21 Sin ruled by means of death. But God's gift of grace now rules, and God has accepted us because of Jesus Christ our Lord. This means that we will have eternal life.
