Chapter 3Bogur.1.3
Strofa 3
The Triumph of Resurrection and Redemption
The hymn concludes by affirming Christ's victory over death and his liberation of humanity from the power of the devil.
The Son of God rose from the dead for us.1 Believe this, devout one: through His suffering, God has delivered His people from the devil's hold.✦2
Read the original Latin
Nas dla wstał z martwych syn boży. Wierzyż w to, człowiecze zbożny, Iż przez trud Bog swoj lud Odjął diablej strożej.
Scripture echoes
- ↩Col.1.13;Heb.2.14-Heb.2.15 — He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves. Heb.2.14 — Since, therefore, the children have shared in blood and flesh, he himself also in like manner partook of the same, so that through death he might destroy the one having the power of death, that is, the devil, Heb.2.15 — and free those who, through fear of death, were subject to slavery all their lives
Notes
- 1 ↩Old Polish 'Nas dla' is fronted word order for modern 'dla nas' ('for us'); sense is beneficiary, not agent.
- 2 ↩'trud' here is Christ's saving toil/suffering (Passion), not generic difficulty. 'diablej strożej' is Old Polish for the devil's custody/guard (stroża), not 'strait' in the modern English sense.

- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
