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.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write this to you again is no trouble for me, and it is safe for you.
2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil workers, watch out for those who mutilate the flesh.
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, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no 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.
even though I myself might put confidence in the flesh. If anyone else presumes to have confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5 Jeg er omskaaren paa den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
But whatever was gain to me I have counted as loss for the sake of 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
More than that, I count all things as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish so 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 be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but the righteousness that is through faith in Christ, which comes from God on the basis of faith.
10 for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11 om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
in the hope of attaining the resurrection 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 that I have already obtained it or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus has taken hold of me.
13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,
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 on toward the goal to win the prize of the upward call 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.
Therefore all of us who are mature should adopt this mindset, and if you adopt a different mindset about anything, God will reveal that to you as well.
16 Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
Nevertheless, let us live up to the same standard that we have already attained; let us adopt the same mindset.
17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
Join together in imitating me, brothers, and pay close attention to those who walk according to the example you have in us.
18 Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu ogsaa siger med Taarer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
For I have often told you, and tell you now with tears, that many walk as 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.
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await from there 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 our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him to subject all things to himself.
