1 Peter 4
1 Efterdi da Kristus har lidt i Kødet, saa skulle ogsaa I væbne eder med det samme Sind (thi den, som har lidt i Kødet, er hørt op med Synd),
Seeing therefore Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same thought, that he, who hath mortified the flesh, hath ceased from sin;
2 saa at I ikke fremdeles leve den øvrige Tid i Kødet efter Menneskers Lyster, men efter Guds Villie.
that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God.
3 Thi det er nok i den forbigangne Tid at have gjort Hedningernes Villie, idet I have vandret i Uterlighed, Lyster, Fylderi, Svir, Drik og skammelig Afgudsdyrkelse;
For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries:
4 hvorfor de forundre sig og spotte, naar I ikke løbe med til den samme Ryggesløshedens Pøl;
in which they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, and therefore speak evil of you:
5 men de skulle gøre ham Regnskab, som er rede til at dømme levende og døde.
who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Thi derfor blev Evangeliet forkyndt ogsaa for døde, for at de vel skulde være dømte paa Menneskers Vis i Kødet, men leve paa Guds Vis i Aanden.
For to this end was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.
7 Men alle Tings Ende er kommen nær; værer derfor aarvaagne og ædrue til Bønner!
But the end of all things draws nigh: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer:
8 Haver fremfor alt en inderlig, Kærlighed til hverandre; thi „Kærlighed skjuler en Mangfoldighed af Synder.‟
having above all things fervent love to each other; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
9 Værer gæstfrie imod hverandre uden Knurren.
Be hospitable one to another, without grudging;
10 Eftersom enhver har faaet en Naadegave, skulle I tjene hverandre dermed som gode Husholdere over Guds mangfoldige Naade.
as every one hath received a gift, imparting it to each other, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Taler nogen, han tale som Guds Ord; har nogen en Tjeneste, han tjene, efter som Gud forlener ham Styrke dertil, for at Gud maa æres i alle Ting ved Jesus Kristus, hvem Herligheden og Magten tilhører i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
If any one speak, let it be as declaring the oracles of God: if any one minister, let it be as from the power which God affordeth him: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 I elskede! undrer eder ikke over den Ild, som brænder iblandt eder til eders Prøvelse, som om der hændtes eder noget underligt;
Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial coming upon you, which is to try you, as if some strange thing befel you:
13 men glæder eder i samme Maal, som I have Del i Kristi Lidelser, for at I ogsaa kunne glæde og fryde eder ved hans Herligheds Aabenbarelse.
but rejoice in that ye are partakers in the sufferings of Christ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may also rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Dersom I haanes for Kristi Navns Skyld, ere I salige; thi Herlighedens og Guds Aand hviler over eder.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: and though as to them He is blasphemed, yet as to you He is glorified.
15 Thi ingen af eder bør lide som Morder eller Tyv eller Ugerningsmand eller som en, der blander sig i anden Mands Sager;
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a malefactor, or as an intermeddler with other people's affairs.
16 men lider han som en Kristen, da skamme han sig ikke, men prise Gud for dette Navn!
But if any suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God herein.
17 Thi det er Tiden til, at Dommen skal begynde med Guds Hus; men begynder den først med os, hvad Ende vil det da faa med dem, som ere genstridige imod Guds Evangelium?
For the time is coming when judgement is to begin at the house of God: and if at us first, what will be the end of those that obey not the gospel of God?
18 Og dersom den retfærdige med Nød og neppe bliver frelst, hvor skal da den ugudelige og Synderen blive af?
And if the righteous be saved with difficulty, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Derfor skulle ogsaa de, som lide efter Guds Villie, befale den trofaste Skaber deres Sjæle, idet de gøre det gode.
Wherefore let them, that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls in well-doing to Him as to a faithful Creator.
