WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ili ne znate, braćo (jer govorim onima koji znaju zakon), da zakon vlada nad čovekom dokle je živ?
1 Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
2 Jer je udata žena privezana zakonom za muža dokle god on živi; a ako li muž njen umre, razreši se od zakona muževljeg.
2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3 Zato, dakle, dok joj je muž živ biva preljubočinica ako pođe za drugog muža; a ako joj umre muž prosta je od zakona da ne bude preljubočinica ako pođe za drugog.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Zato, braćo moja, i vi umreste zakonu telom Hristovim, da budete drugog, Onog što usta iz mrtvih, da plod donesemo Bogu.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
5 Jer kad bejasmo u telu, behu slasti grehovne, koje zakon rađahu u udima našim da se smrti plod donosi.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
6 A sad, umrevši izbavismo se od zakona koji nas držaše, da služimo Bogu u obnovljenju Duha a ne u starini slova.
6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Šta ćemo dakle reći? Je li zakon greh? Bože sačuvaj! Nego ja greha ne poznah osim kroz zakon; jer ne znadoh za želju da zakon ne kaza: Ne zaželi.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
8 A greh uze početak kroz zapovest, i načini u meni svaku želju; jer je greh bez zakona mrtav.
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 A ja življah nekad bez zakona; a kad dođe zapovest, onda greh ožive,
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
10 a ja umreh, i nađe se da mi zapovest bi za smrt koja beše data za život.
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 Jer greh uzevši početak kroz zapovest prevari me, i ubi me njome.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Tako je, dakle, zakon svet i zapovest sveta i pravedna i dobra.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
13 Dobro li dakle bi meni smrt? Bože sačuvaj! Nego greh, da se pokaže greh dobrom čineći mi smrt, da bude greh odviše grešan zapovešću.
13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
14 Jer znamo da je zakon duhovan; a ja sam telesan, prodan pod greh:
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Jer ne znam šta činim, jer ne činim ono šta hoću, nego na šta mrzim ono činim.
15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Ako li ono činim šta neću, hvalim zakon da je dobar.
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17 A ovo više ja ne činim nego greh koji živi u meni.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Jer znam da dobro ne živi u meni, to jest u telu mom. Jer hteti imam u sebi, ali učiniti dobro ne nalazim.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
19 Jer dobro što hoću ne činim, nego zlo što neću ono činim.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
20 A kad činim ono što neću, već ja to ne činim nego greh koji živi u meni.
20 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Nalazim, dakle zakon, kad hoću dobro da činim, da me na zlo nagoni.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Jer imam radost u zakonu Božijem po unutrašnjem čoveku;
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
23 ali vidim drugi zakon u udima svojim, koji se suproti zakonu uma mog, i zarobljava me zakonom grehovnim koji je u udima mojim.
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Ja nesrećni čovek! Ko će me izbaviti od tela smrti ove?
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Zahvaljujem Bogu svom kroz Isusa Hrista Gospoda našeg. Tako, dakle, ja sam umom svojim služim zakonu Božijem a telom zakonu grehovnom.
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After having said that great evils had taken place, and that sin, taking occasion by the commandment, had grown stronger, and the opposite of what the Law mainly aimed at had been the result, and after having thrown the hearer into a great deal of perplexity, he goes on next to give the rationale of these events, after first clearing …

… sign of our salvation, since it was the Lord Himself who saved them, because they could not be saved by their own instrumentality; and, therefore, when Paul sets forth human infirmity, he says: "For I know that there dwelleth in my flesh no good thing," showing that the "good thing" of our salvation is not from us, but from God.
For though a man "delight in the law of God after the inward man," what shall he do with that other law in his members which warreth against the law of his mind, and bringeth him into captivity to the law of sin, which is in his members?

The Devil had used the flesh as an instrument against us; and Paul knowing this, saith, But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity, and the rest.

And again: "Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Then he introduces the Deliverer, [saying,] "The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord." And Isaiah declares this also, [when he says:] "Be ye strengthened, ye hands that hang down, and ye feeble knees; be ye encouraged, ye feeble-minded; be comforted, fear not: behold, …
