Romerne 8
1 Saa er der da nu ingen Fordømmelse for dem, som ere i Kristus Jesus.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who 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 has set you 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 did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
4 for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to 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 those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on 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 set on the flesh is hostile towards God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
8 Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
And those who 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 you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
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 gives 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 who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
So then, brothers, we have no obligation 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 you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will 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 you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba. Father."
16 Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
The Spirit himself testifies 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 fellow heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be 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 consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed to us.
19 Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
20 Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because 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 will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom 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 groans and suffers with labor pains 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 this, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, 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 we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
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 the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with inexpressible groanings.
27 Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
And he who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints in accordance with 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 all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who 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 predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
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.
Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who can be 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 who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
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 who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes 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 will separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, 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 your sake we are killed all day long. We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who 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 rulers, 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 created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
