Oslobodenie od zákona
7 Milí bratia, vy sa predsa dobre vyznáte v zákone, a tak viete, že je platný len dovtedy, kým človek žije.
2 Tak napríklad, vydatá žena je viazaná vernosťou svojmu mužovi len do jeho smrti. Ak však muž zomrie, zákon prestáva platiť, a žena sa môže vydať.
3 Ak by sa však za manželovho života oddala inému mužovi, stala by sa cudzoložnicou. Ale po manželovej smrti je voľná, a nik ju nebude viniť z cudzoložstva, ak by sa znova vydala.
4 Aj vy ste boli podobne podriadení zákonu, ale Kristova smrť vás od neho oslobodila. A teraz patríte inému Pánovi, vzkriesenému Kristovi, aby ste prinášali ovocie Bohu, to znamená, aby ste žili tak, ako sa jemu páči.
5 Kým sme ešte nepoznali Krista, žili sme v zajatí hriechu a ovládali nás hriešne žiadosti -- túžba po tom, čo zákon zakazuje. Robili sme to, čo vedie do záhuby.
6 Ale teraz, keď sme zomreli tomu, čím sme boli spútaní, sme oslobodení od zákona a môžeme slúžiť Bohu skrze Svätého Ducha celkom novým spôsobom -- s celou svojou mysľou a srdcom, a nie zachovávaním kopy predpisov.
Človek a Boží zákon
7 Chceme tým azda povedať, že Božie zákony sú zlé? Isteže nie! Ale bez Božích prikázaní by som nepoznal, čo je hriech. Keby Božie prikázanie nehovorilo: Nepožiadaš!", ani by som nevedel, že žiadostivosť je zlá.
8 Ale to zároveň prebudilo vo mne silnejšiu túžbu po zakázanom ovocí. A tak bez zákona by som nevedel o moci hriechu vo mne.
9 S príchodom zákona do môjho života hriech začal existovať a s hriechom prišla smrť.
10 Ukázalo sa, že prikázanie, ktoré mi malo dať život, prinieslo mi smrť.
11 Hriech využil prikázanie, aby ma oklamal, a tak namiesto života mi priniesol smrť.
12 Zákon sa však sám osebe zhoduje s Božou vôľou; každé prikázanie je sväté, správne a dobré.
13 Môže teda to, čo je sväté, správne a dobré, spôsobiť smrť? Nie, isteže nie! Ale tým, že hriech využil dobro, aby mi prinieslo smrť, prejavil sa ako hriech, a práve zákon ukázal celú hĺbku jeho hriešnosti.
14 Vieme, že zákon pochádza od Boha, ale ja som len slabý človek, ovládaný hriechom.
15 Sám sebe som záhadou, lebo nerobím to, čo chcem, ale to, čo sa mi protiví.
16 Ak však to, čo robím, je proti mojej vôli, tak uznávam, že zákon je dobrý.
17 To znamená, že zlo nekonám ja, ale hriech, ktorý je vo mne.
18 Viem, že moja stará hriešna povaha je celkom skazená. Aj by som chcel robiť dobre, ale nevládzem.
19 Veď nerobím dobro, ktoré chcem, ale zlo, ktoré nechcem.
20 Ak teda robím to, čo nechcem, príčinou toho je, že som otrokom hriechu.
21 A tak objavujem v sebe takýto zákon: chcem robiť dobro, ale konám zlo.
22 Vo svojej najvnútornejšej bytosti túžim plniť Boží zákon,
23 a predsa konám podľa iného zákona, ktorý je vo mne. Tento rozpor medzi mojím dobrým predsavzatím a nesprávnym konaním dokazuje, že som otrokom hriechu.
24 Ja nešťastný človek! Je niekto, kto ma vyslobodí z tohto otroctva?
25 Vďaka Bohu je. Je to náš Pán, Ježiš Kristus. On ma z neho vyslobodil. Vo svojej mysli súhlasím s Božím zákonom, ale v konaní jednako podlieham zákonu hriechu.

New International Version
Romans 7
New International Version
Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(A)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(B) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(C) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(D) through the body of Christ,(E) that you might belong to another,(F) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](G) the sinful passions aroused by the law(H) were at work in us,(I) so that we bore fruit for death.(J) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(K) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(L)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(M) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(N) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(O) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](P) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(R) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(S) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(T) deceived me,(U) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(V)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(W) to bring about my death,(X) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(Y) sold(Z) as a slave to sin.(AA) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(AB) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(AC) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(AD) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c](AE) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(AF) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(AG)
21 So I find this law at work:(AH) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(AI) I delight in God’s law;(AJ) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(AK) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(AL) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AM) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AN)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AO) but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.(AP)
