Galaterne 2
1 Senere, efter fjorten Aars Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Barnabas og tog ogsaa Titus med.
Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
2 Men jeg drog op ifølge en Aabenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, — om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain.
3 Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure paa vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed maatte blive varig hos eder.
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 Men fra deres Side, som ansaas for at være noget, (hvordanne de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke paa et Menneskes Person; ) — over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed [to be somewhat], in conference added nothing to me:
7 Men tværtimod, da de saa, at jeg har faaet Evangeliet til de uomskaarne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskaarne,
But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] to Peter;
8 (thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskaarne, gav ogsaa mig Kraft dertil for Hedningerne; )
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles: )
9 og da de lærte den mig givne Naade at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansaas for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshaand for at vi skulde gaa til Hedningerne og de til de omskaarne;
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
10 kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg ogsaa just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, traadte jeg op imod ham for hans aabne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13 Og med ham hyklede ogsaa de øvrige Jøder, saa at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 Men da jeg saa, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Paahør: Naar du, som er en Jøde, lever paa hedensk og ikke paa jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro paa Jesus Kristus, saa have ogsaa vi troet paa Kristus Jesus, for at vi maatte blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro paa Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Gerninger skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Men naar vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, ogsaa selv fandtes at være Syndere, saa er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.
18 naar jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.
20 Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen paa Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Naade; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is [attainable] by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.
