Sažetak
Due -to the current massive build-up of means of destruction owing to science and technology, the Fifth Commandment has become very timely. Using the examples of Jesus and Christians who have supported the principle of life in the course of history, the author concludes that only obedience to God's commandments will save mankind from catastrophe. Christians should take the initiative. The author attempts to penetrate to the authentic Biblical meaning and to the meaning acquired through Christian tradition. Present research seeks to free this commandment from the unsuitable historical aggregations it has acquired and restore the authentic luster. In our times, it is our special task to protect each life, especially that of the unborn child, and foster conditions for science to work within the framework of moral principles.
