Romerne 8
1 Saa er der da nu ingen Fordømmelse for dem, som ere i Kristus Jesus.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
2 Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3 Thi det, som var Loven umuligt, det, hvori den var afmægtig ved Kødet, det gjorde Gud, idet han sendte sin egen Søn i syndigt Køds Lighed og for Syndens Skyld og saaledes domfældte Synden i Kødet,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 Thi de, som lade sig lede af Kødet, hige efter det kødelige; men de, som lade sig lede af Aanden, hige efter det aandelige.
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7 efterdi Kødets Higen er Fjendskab imod Gud, thi det er ikke Guds Lov lydigt, det kan jo ikke heller være det.
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8 Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 I derimod ere ikke i Kødet, men i Aanden, om ellers Guds Aand bor i eder. Men om nogen ikke har Kristi Aand, saa hører han ham ikke til.
But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 Men om Kristus er i eder, da er vel Legemet dødt paa Grund af Synd, men Aanden er Liv paa Grund af Retfærdighed.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 Men om hans Aand, der oprejste Jesus fra de døde, bor i eder, da skal han, som oprejste Kristus fra de døde, levendegøre ogsaa eders dødelige Legemer ved sin Aand, som bor i eder.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13 thi dersom I leve efter Kødet, skulle I dø, men dersom I ved Aanden døde Legemets Gerninger, skulle I leve.
for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 Thi saa mange som drives af Guds Aand, disse ere Guds Børn.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 I modtoge jo ikke en Trældoms Aand atter til Frygt, men I modtoge en Sønneudkaarelses Aand, i hvilken vi raabe: Abba, Fader!
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
17 Men naar vi ere Børn, ere vi ogsaa Arvinger, Guds Arvinger og Kristi Medarvinger, om ellers vi lide med ham for ogsaa at herliggøres med ham.
and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified with [him].
18 Thi jeg holder for, at den nærværende Tids Lidelser ikke ere at regne imod den Herlighed, som skal aabenbares paa os.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
19 Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
21 med Haab om, at ogsaa Skabningen selv skal blive frigjort fra Forkrænkelighedens Trældom til Guds Børns Herligheds Frihed.
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 Dog ikke det alene, men ogsaa vi selv, som have Aandens Førstegrøde, ogsaa vi sukke ved os selv, idet vi forvente en Sønneudkaarelse, vort Legemes Forløsning.
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
24 Thi i Haabet bleve vi frelste. Men et Haab, som ses, er ikke et Haab; thi hvad en ser, hvor kan han tillige haabe det?
For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
25 Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it.
26 Og ligeledes kommer ogsaa Aanden vor Skrøbelighed til Hjælp; thi vi vide ikke, hvad vi skulle bede om, som det sig bør, men Aanden selv gaar i Forbøn for os med uudsigelige Sukke.
And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered;
27 Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
28 Men vi vide, at alle Ting samvirke til gode for dem, som elske Gud, dem, som efter hans Beslutning ere kaldede.
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose.
29 Thi dem, han forud kendte, forudbestemte han ogsaa til at blive ligedannede med hans Søns Billede, for at han kunde være førstefødt iblandt mange Brødre.
For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30 Men dem, han forudbestemte, dem kaldte han ogsaa; og dem, han kaldte, dem retfærdiggjorde han ogsaa; men dem, han retfærdiggjorde, dem herliggjorde han ogsaa.
and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 Han, som jo ikke sparede sin egen Søn, men gav ham hen for os alle, hvorledes skulde han ikke ogsaa med ham skænke os alle Ting?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;
34 Hvem er den, som fordømmer? Kristus er den, som er død, ja, meget mere, som er oprejst, som er ved Guds højre Haand, som ogsaa gaar i Forbøn for os.
who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Hvem skal kunne skille os fra Kristi Kærlighed? Trængsel eller Angest eller Forfølgelse eller Hunger eller Nøgenhed eller Fare eller Sværd?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 som der er skrevet: „For din Skyld dræbes vi den hele Dag, vi bleve regnede som Slagtefaar.‟
Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Thi jeg er vis paa, at hverken Død eller Liv eller Engle eller Magter eller noget nærværende eller noget tilkommende eller Kræfter
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 eller det høje eller det dybe eller nogen anden Skabning skal kunne skille os fra Guds Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus, vor Herre.
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
