Filipperne 3
1 I øvrigt, mine Brødre, glæder eder i Herren! At skrive det samme til eder er ikke til Besvær for mig, men er betryggende for eder.
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.
2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Aand og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os paa Kødet,
For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
4 endskønt ogsaa jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig paa, ogsaa i Kødet. Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig paa Kødet, kan jeg det mere.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
5 Jeg er omskaaren paa den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:
6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
8 ja sandelig, jeg agter endog alt for at være Tab imod det langt højere, at kende Kristus Jesus, min Herre, for hvis Skyld jeg har lidt Tab paa alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus
Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:
9 og findes i ham, saa jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro paa Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud paa Grundlag af Troen,
And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:
10 for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
11 om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 Ikke at jeg allerede har grebet det eller allerede er fuldkommen; men jeg jager derefter, om jeg dog kunde gribe det, efterdi jeg ogsaa er greben af Kristus Jesus.
Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
14 Men eet gør jeg: Glemmende, hvad der er bagved, men rækkende efter det, som er foran, jager jeg imod Maalet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus.
I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Lader da os, saa mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud aabenbare eder ogsaa dette.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
16 Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
18 Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu ogsaa siger med Taarer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;
19 hvis Ende er Fortabelse, hvis Gud er Bugen, og hvis Ære er i deres Skændsel, de, som tragte efter de jordiske Ting.
Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 der skal forvandle vort Fornedrelses-Legeme til at blive ligedannet med hans Herligheds-Legeme, efter den Kraft, ved hvilken han ogsaa kan underlægge sig alle Ting.
Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
