Filipperne 3
1 I øvrigt, mine Brødre, glæder eder i Herren! At skrive det samme til eder er ikke til Besvær for mig, men er betryggende for eder.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is really not irksome to me, but safe for you.
2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the excision.
3 Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Aand og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os paa Kødet,
For we are the circumcision, men who worship in spirit to God, and who boast in Christ Jesus, and not being confident in flesh.
4 endskønt ogsaa jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig paa, ogsaa i Kødet. Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig paa Kødet, kan jeg det mere.
Although (I having confidence also in flesh) if any other man seems to be confident in the flesh, I more:
5 Jeg er omskaaren paa den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding law, a Pharisee;
6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in law, having become blameless.
7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
But whatever was gain to me, these things I regarded loss because of the Christ.
8 ja sandelig, jeg agter endog alt for at være Tab imod det langt højere, at kende Kristus Jesus, min Herre, for hvis Skyld jeg har lidt Tab paa alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus
But indeed therefore I even consider all things to be loss because of things surpassing, of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered the loss of all things, and consider them to be rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
9 og findes i ham, saa jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro paa Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud paa Grundlag af Troen,
and be found in him, not having my righteousness, that from law, but that through Christ's faith-the righteousness from God based on faith-
10 for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
if somehow I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Ikke at jeg allerede har grebet det eller allerede er fuldkommen; men jeg jager derefter, om jeg dog kunde gribe det, efterdi jeg ogsaa er greben af Kristus Jesus.
Not that I have already obtained or have already been fully perfected, but I press forward, if also I might seize upon that for which also I was seized by Christ Jesus.
13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
Brothers, I reckon myself not to have seized, but one thing, indeed forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to the things ahead,
14 Men eet gør jeg: Glemmende, hvad der er bagved, men rækkende efter det, som er foran, jager jeg imod Maalet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus.
I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Lader da os, saa mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud aabenbare eder ogsaa dette.
As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.
16 Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
However in what we have attained, to march by the same standard, to think the same way.
17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
Brothers, become fellow-imitators of me, and watch those who so walk, just as ye have us for an example.
18 Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu ogsaa siger med Taarer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
For many walk, who (I told you often, and now also say while weeping) are enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 hvis Ende er Fortabelse, hvis Gud er Bugen, og hvis Ære er i deres Skændsel, de, som tragte efter de jordiske Ting.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and the glory in their shame, who mind earthly things.
20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which also we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 der skal forvandle vort Fornedrelses-Legeme til at blive ligedannet med hans Herligheds-Legeme, efter den Kraft, ved hvilken han ogsaa kan underlægge sig alle Ting.
who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.
