Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
Let it not be! We who died to sin—how will we still live in it?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
4 Vi bleve altsaa begravne med ham ved Daaben til Døden, for at, ligesom Kristus blev oprejst fra de døde ved Faderens Herlighed, saaledes ogsaa vi skulle vandre i et nyt Levned.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog ogsaa være det ved hans Opstandelses,
For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the resurrection;
6 idet vi erkende dette, at vort gamle Menneske blev korsfæstet med ham, for at Syndens Legeme skulde blive til intet, for at vi ikke mere skulde tjene Synden.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
for he who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi ogsaa skulle leve med ham,
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
9 efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, dies no more; death has no more lordship over Him;
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
11 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
13 fremstiller ej heller eders Lemmer for Synden som Uretfærdigheds Vaaben; men fremstiller eder selv for Gud som saadanne, der fra døde ere blevne levende, og eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Vaaben for Gud.
neither present your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder; I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Naade.
for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Hvad da? skulde vi synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Naade? Det være langt fra!
What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!
16 Vide I ikke, at naar I fremstille eder for en som Tjenere til Lydighed, saa ere I hans Tjenere, hvem I lyde, enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?
Have you not known that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, servants you are to him to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Men Gud ske Tak, fordi I have været Syndens Tjenere, men bleve af Hjertet lydige imod den Læreform, til hvilken I bleve overgivne.
And thanks to God, that you were servants of sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were delivered up;
18 Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 Jeg taler paa menneskelig Vis paa Grund af eders Køds Skrøbelighed. Ligesom I nemlig fremstillede eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Urenheden og Lovløsheden til Lovløshed, saaledes fremstiller nu eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Retfærdigheden til Helliggørelse!
I speak in a human [way], because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as you presented your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to righteousness—to sanctification,
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpaa er jo Død.
What fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [is] death.
22 Men nu, da I ere blevne frigjorte fra Synden og ere blevne Guds Tjenere, have I eders Frugt til Helliggørelse og som Enden derpaa et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
And now, having been freed from sin, and having become servants to God, you have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
