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 brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.
2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!
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 are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in 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 also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in 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,
circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to law—a Pharisee!
6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!
7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the 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
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
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,
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,
10 for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11 om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of 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 that I already obtained, or have already been perfected, but I pursue, if I also may lay hold of that for which I was also laid hold of by Christ Jesus;
13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things 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 pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling 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.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,
16 Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;
17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;
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 told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the 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] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.
20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the 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 transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His power, even to subject all things to Himself.
