Rim 7, 1-25

1 Or do you not know, brothers, (now I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law has dominion over a man only so long as he lives? 2 For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 Therefore, while her husband lives, if she has been with another man, she should be called an adulteress. But when her husband has died, she is freed from the law of her husband, such that, if she has been with another man, she is not an adulteress. 4 And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were under the law, operated within our bodies, so as to bear fruit unto death. 6 But now we have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by the letter. 7 What should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For 652 example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Now I lived for some time apart from the law. But when the commandment had arrived, sin was revived, 10 and I died. And the commandment, which was unto life, was itself found to be unto death for me. 11 For sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, seduced me, and, through the law, sin killed me. 12 And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. 13 Then was what is good made into death for me? Let it not be so! But rather sin, in order that it might be known as sin by what is good, wrought death in me; so that sin, through the commandment, might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, having been sold under sin. 15 For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do. 16 So, when I do what I do not want to do, I am in agreement with the law, that the law is good. 17 But I am then acting not according to the law, but according to the sin which lives within me. 18 For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach. 19 For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. 20 Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me. 21 And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me. 22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man. 23 But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body. 24 Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death? 25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, the law of sin.

Verš 2

For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is released from the law of her husband.

1Kor 7:39 - A woman is bound under the law for as long as her husband lives. But if her husband has died, she is free. She may marry whomever she wishes, but only in the Lord.

1Kor 7:2 - But, because of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

1Kor 7:10 - But to those who have been joined in matrimony, it is not I who commands you, but the Lord: a wife is not to separate from her husband.

Verš 3

Therefore, while her husband lives, if she has been with another man, she should be called an adulteress. But when her husband has died, she is freed from the law of her husband, such that, if she has been with another man, she is not an adulteress.

Mt 5:32 - But I say to you, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.

Verš 4

And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

Gal 2:19 - For through the law, I have become dead to the law, so that I may live for God. I have been nailed to the cross with Christ.

1Pt 4:1 - Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin,

Verš 6

But now we have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by the letter.

Rim 2:29 - But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.

2Kor 3:6 - And he has made us suitable ministers of the New Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Verš 7

What should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For 652 example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.”

Rim 3:20 - For in his presence no flesh shall be justified by the works of the law. For knowledge of sin is through the law.

Heb 7:18 - Certainly, there is a setting aside of the former commandment, because of its weakness and lack of usefulness.

Ex 20:17 - You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; neither shall you desire his wife, nor male servant, nor female servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor anything that is his.”

Dt 5:21 - You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’

Verš 8

But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

Jn 15:22 - If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

Rim 4:15 - For the law works unto wrath. And where there is no law, there is no law-breaking.

Rim 5:20 - Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant.

Gal 3:19 - Why, then, was there a law? It was established because of transgressions, until the offspring would arrive, to whom he made the promise, ordained by Angels through the hand of a mediator.

Verš 12

And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

1Tim 1:8 - But we know that the law is good, if one makes use of it properly.

Verš 14

For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

Iz 52:3 - For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.

Verš 15

For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do.

Gal 5:17 - For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.

Verš 18

For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach.

Gn 6:5 - Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times,

Gn 8:21 - And the Lord smelled the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce every living soul as I have done.

Verš 22

For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man.

Ef 3:16 - And I ask him to grant to you to be strengthened in virtue by his Spirit, in accord with the wealth of his glory, in the inner man,

Verš 23

But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body.

Gal 5:17 - For the flesh desires against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And since these are against one another, you may not do whatever you want.

Rim 7,1-4 - Na príklade o manželstve ukazuje, že pokrstení už nie sú podriadení Mojžišovmu zákonu: Keď žene umrie muž, stane sa slobodnou od manželského zväzku a môže sa vydať za iného a žiť preňho. Tak aj pokrstení, ktorí tajomne zomreli v krste s Kristom, stali sa slobodnými od záväzkov predošlého Zákona a majú žiť so vzkrieseným Kristom a preňho.

Rim 7,5 - "Kým sme boli v tele", t. j. v stave starého človeka, zaťaženého prvotným hriechom, čiže telesní. Hriešne vášne vyvolával Zákon v tom zmysle, že svojimi mnohými príkazmi a zákazmi stával sa príležitosťou alebo podnetom na hriech, nakoľko človek skôr sa kloní k zakázaným veciam. "Ovocie smrti", t. j. skutky, za ktoré je odplatou večná smrť.

Rim 7,6 - "Po novom, v Duchu", t. j. v stave milosti Ducha Svätého. "Nie po starom, podľa litery", t. j. v onom starom stave, keď ste boli pod Zákonom.

Rim 7,7 - Porov. Ex 20, 17. Mojžišov zákon sám osebe je dobrý, ale vlastne on priniesol presné poznanie toho, čo je zlé, zakázané, a pritom neposkytoval človeku potrebné milosti. Kde ho nebolo, svedomie človeka bolo slobodnejšie. Napríklad vnútorné hriechy žiadostivosti by sa nebrali tak vážne, keby Božie prikázanie výslovne nehovorilo: "Nepožiadaš!"

Rim 7,8 - Pavol opisuje dramatický vnútorný rozpor, ktorý človek skusuje sám v sebe.

Rim 7,9 - "Ja" je podľa všetkého štylistickou figúrou a znamená: my, ľudia.

Rim 7,13 - Zákon bol daný Bohom pre dobro človeka, a preto je dobrý a svätý. Sám teda priamo nepôsobí duchovnú smrť. Ale robí to v človeku zdedená náklonnosť na hriech. Tá zneužíva dobré prikázanie a privádza na človeka duchovnú smrť. Boh to dopustil, aby ľudia tým túžobnejšie očakávali Vykupiteľa.

Rim 7,14 - Zákon je duchovný pre svoj pôvod, ako aj preto, že chce človeku mravné dobro. "Ja som telesný", t. j. človek, ktorého ešte nepretvorila Kristova milosť.

Rim 7,15 - Človek je následkom dedičného hriechu tragicky rozorvaný, dá sa zvábiť zlej žiadostivosti (= zákon hriechu), ktorá je v nás zakorenená, hoci na druhej strane súhlasí s Božím zákonom a má v ňom zaľúbenie. Je to pravda, ktorú aj pohanský básnik dobre vycítil, keď povedal: "Vidím, čo je dobré, aj to schvaľujem, ale robím predsa to, čo je horšie…" (Ovídius). To, pravda, neznamená, že by sme neboli zodpovední za svoje hriechy. Apoštol tu chce len ukázať, v akom úbohom stave je hriešnik. Ako Pavol hovorí ďalej, kresťan posilňovaný Božou milosťou môže ovládať a premáhať zlú žiadostivosť.

Rim 7,24-25 - Z tohto biedneho stavu vyráža výkrik skoro zúfalý. A potom ako blesk vnáša svetlo do tragédie ľudskej bytosti slovo o Bohu, ktorý skrze Ježiša Krista vykupuje človeka.
