Romerne 12
1 Jeg formaner eder altsaa, Brødre! ved Guds Barmhjertighed, til at fremstille eders Legemer som et levende, helligt, Gud velbehageligt Offer; dette er eders fornuftige Gudsdyrkelse.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.
2 Og skikker eder ikke lige med denne Verden, men vorder forvandlede ved Sindets Fornyelse, saa I maa skønne, hvad der er Guds Villie, det gode og velbehagelige og fuldkomne. (aiōn g165)
And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
3 Thi ved den Naade, som er given mig, siger jeg til enhver iblandt eder, at han ikke skal tænke højere om sig selv, end han bør tænke, men tænke med Betænksomhed, efter som Gud tildelte enhver Troens Maal.
For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
4 Thi ligesom vi have mange Lemmer paa eet Legeme, men Lemmerne ikke alle have den samme Gerning,
For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
5 saaledes ere vi mange eet Legeme i Kristus, men hver for sig hverandres Lemmer.
thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
6 Men efterdi vi have forskellige Naadegaver efter den Naade, som er given os, det være sig Profeti, da lader os bruge den i Forhold til vor Tro;
But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
7 eller en Tjeneste, da lader os tage Vare paa Tjenesten; eller om nogen lærer, paa Lærergerningen;
or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
8 eller om nogen formaner, paa Formaningen; den, som uddeler, gøre det med Redelighed; den, som er Forstander, være det med Iver; den, som øver Barmhjertighed, gøre det med Glæde!
or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Kærligheden være uskrømtet; afskyer det onde, holder eder til det gode;
Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:
10 værer i eders Broderkærlighed hverandre inderligt hengivne; forekommer hverandre i at vise Ærbødighed!
as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:
11 Værer ikke lunkne i eders Iver; værer brændende i Aanden; tjener Herren;
as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.
12 værer glade i Haabet, udholdende i Trængselen, vedholdende i Bønnen!
As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:
13 Tager Del i de helliges Fornødenheder; lægger Vind paa Gæstfrihed!
distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Velsigner dem, som forfølge eder, velsigner, og forbander ikke!
Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
15 Glæder eder med de glade, og græder med de grædende!
Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
16 Værer enige indbyrdes; tragter ikke efter de høje Ting, men holder eder til det lave; vorder ikke kloge i eders egne Tanker!
Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
17 Betaler ikke nogen ondt for ondt; lægger Vind paa, hvad der er godt for alle Menneskers Aasyn!
recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
18 Dersom det er muligt — saa vidt det staar til eder —, da holder Fred med alle Mennesker!
if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
19 Hævner eder ikke selv, I elskede! men giver Vreden Rum; thi der er skrevet: „Mig hører Hævnen til, jeg vil betale, siger Herren.”
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.
20 Nej, dersom din Fjende hungrer, giv ham Mad; dersom han tørster, giv ham Drikke; thi naar du gør dette, vil du samle gloende Kul paa hans Hoved.
If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
21 Lad dig ikke overvinde af det onde, men overvind det onde med det gode!
Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
