Kolossensern 3
1 Naar I altsaa ere blevne oprejste med Kristus, da søger det, som er oventil, hvor Kristus sidder ved Guds højre Haand.
If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:
2 Tragter efter det, som er oventil, ikke efter det, som er paa Jorden.
have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;
3 Thi I ere døde, og eders Liv er skjult med Kristus i Gud.
for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.
4 Naar Kristus, vort Liv, aabenbares, da skulle ogsaa I aabenbares med ham i Herlighed.
When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.
5 Saa døder da de jordiske Lemmer, Utugt, Urenhed, Brynde, ondt Begær og Havesygen, som jo er Afgudsdyrkelse;
Put to death therefore your members which [are] upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.
6 for disse Tings Skyld kommer Guds Vrede.
On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 I dem vandrede ogsaa I fordum, da I levede deri.
In which ye also once walked when ye lived in these things.
8 Men nu skulle ogsaa I aflægge det alt sammen, Vrede, Hidsighed, Ondskab, Forhaanelse, slem Snak af eders Mund.
But now, put off, ye also, all [these] things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth.
9 Lyver ikke for hverandre, da I have afført eder det gamle Menneske med dets Gerninger
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
10 og iført eder det nye, som fornyes til Erkendelse efter hans Billede, der skabte det;
and having put on the new, renewed into full knowledge according to [the] image of him that has created him;
11 hvor der ikke er Græker og Jøde, Omskærelse og Forhud, Barbar, Skyther, Træl, fri, men Kristus er alt og i alle.
wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.
12 Saa ifører eder da som Guds udvalgte, hellige og elskede inderlig Barmhjertighed, Godhed, Ydmyghed, Sagtmodighed, Langmodighed,
Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
13 saa I bære over med hverandre og tilgive hverandre, dersom nogen har Klagemaal imod nogen; ligesom Kristus tilgav eder, saaledes ogsaa I!
forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
14 Men over alt dette skulle I iføre eder Kærligheden, hvilket er Fuldkommenhedens Baand.
And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 Og Kristi Fred raade i eders Hjerter, til hvilken I ogsaa bleve kaldede i eet Legeme; og vorder taknemmelige!
And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.
16 Lad Kristi Ord bo rigeligt iblandt eder, saa I med al Visdom lære og paaminde hverandre med Psalmer, Lovsange og aandelige Viser, idet I synge med Ynde i eders Hjerter for Gud.
Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
17 Og alt, hvad I gøre i Ord eller i Handling, det gører alt i den Herres Jesu Navn, takkende Gud Fader ved ham.
And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, [do] all things in [the] name of [the] Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.
18 I Hustruer! underordner eder under eders Mænd, som det sømmer sig i Herren.
Wives, be subject to [your] husbands, as is fitting in [the] Lord.
19 I Mænd! elsker eders Hustruer, og værer ikke bitre imod dem!
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 I Børn! adlyder i alle Ting eders Forældre, thi dette er velbehageligt i Herren.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in [the] Lord.
21 I Fædre! opirrer ikke eders Børn, for at de ikke skulle tabe Modet.
Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.
22 I Trælle! adlyder i alle Ting eders Herrer efter Kødet, ikke med Øjentjeneste som de, der ville tækkes Mennesker, men i Hjertets Enfold, frygtende Herren.
Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Hvad I end foretage eder, saa gører det af Hjertet, som for Herren og ikke for Mennesker,
Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as [doing it] to the Lord, and not to men;
24 da I vide, at I af Herren skulle faa Arven til Vederlag; det er den Herre Kristus, I tjene.
knowing that of [the] Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 Thi den, som gør Uret, skal faa igen, hvad Uret han gjorde, og der er ikke Persons Anseelse.
For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
