1 Peter 4
1 Efterdi da Kristus har lidt i Kødet, saa skulle ogsaa I væbne eder med det samme Sind (thi den, som har lidt i Kødet, er hørt op med Synd),
Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 saa at I ikke fremdeles leve den øvrige Tid i Kødet efter Menneskers Lyster, men efter Guds Villie.
that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 Thi det er nok i den forbigangne Tid at have gjort Hedningernes Villie, idet I have vandret i Uterlighed, Lyster, Fylderi, Svir, Drik og skammelig Afgudsdyrkelse;
For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
4 hvorfor de forundre sig og spotte, naar I ikke løbe med til den samme Ryggesløshedens Pøl;
wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
5 men de skulle gøre ham Regnskab, som er rede til at dømme levende og døde.
who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 Thi derfor blev Evangeliet forkyndt ogsaa for døde, for at de vel skulde være dømte paa Menneskers Vis i Kødet, men leve paa Guds Vis i Aanden.
For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Men alle Tings Ende er kommen nær; værer derfor aarvaagne og ædrue til Bønner!
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:
8 Haver fremfor alt en inderlig, Kærlighed til hverandre; thi „Kærlighed skjuler en Mangfoldighed af Synder.‟
above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:
9 Værer gæstfrie imod hverandre uden Knurren.
using hospitality one to another without murmuring:
10 Eftersom enhver har faaet en Naadegave, skulle I tjene hverandre dermed som gode Husholdere over Guds mangfoldige Naade.
according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
11 Taler nogen, han tale som Guds Ord; har nogen en Tjeneste, han tjene, efter som Gud forlener ham Styrke dertil, for at Gud maa æres i alle Ting ved Jesus Kristus, hvem Herligheden og Magten tilhører i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 I elskede! undrer eder ikke over den Ild, som brænder iblandt eder til eders Prøvelse, som om der hændtes eder noget underligt;
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:
13 men glæder eder i samme Maal, som I have Del i Kristi Lidelser, for at I ogsaa kunne glæde og fryde eder ved hans Herligheds Aabenbarelse.
but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Dersom I haanes for Kristi Navns Skyld, ere I salige; thi Herlighedens og Guds Aand hviler over eder.
If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.
15 Thi ingen af eder bør lide som Morder eller Tyv eller Ugerningsmand eller som en, der blander sig i anden Mands Sager;
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:
16 men lider han som en Kristen, da skamme han sig ikke, men prise Gud for dette Navn!
but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
17 Thi det er Tiden til, at Dommen skal begynde med Guds Hus; men begynder den først med os, hvad Ende vil det da faa med dem, som ere genstridige imod Guds Evangelium?
For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 Og dersom den retfærdige med Nød og neppe bliver frelst, hvor skal da den ugudelige og Synderen blive af?
And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
19 Derfor skulle ogsaa de, som lide efter Guds Villie, befale den trofaste Skaber deres Sjæle, idet de gøre det gode.
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
