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 mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and well-pleasing to God, as your rational 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 ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may experience 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 by the grace conferred on me I charge every one among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think: but to think with sobriety, according as God hath divided to every man the 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, and all the members have not the same office:
5 saaledes ere vi mange eet Legeme i Kristus, men hver for sig hverandres Lemmer.
so we who are many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of each 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 conferred upon us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith:
7 eller en Tjeneste, da lader os tage Vare paa Tjenesten; eller om nogen lærer, paa Lærergerningen;
or ministry, let us attend to the ministry: or he that teacheth, on teaching: or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:
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!
he that distributeth, let him do it with integrity: he that presideth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercy, with chearfulness.
9 Kærligheden være uskrømtet; afskyer det onde, holder eder til det gode;
Let love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good;
10 værer i eders Broderkærlighed hverandre inderligt hengivne; forekommer hverandre i at vise Ærbødighed!
be tenderly affected with brotherly love to each other, in honor preferring one another:
11 Værer ikke lunkne i eders Iver; værer brændende i Aanden; tjener Herren;
not slothful in business: fervent in spirit: serving the Lord.
12 værer glade i Haabet, udholdende i Trængselen, vedholdende i Bønnen!
Rejoicing in hope, patient under affliction, persevering in prayer,
13 Tager Del i de helliges Fornødenheder; lægger Vind paa Gæstfrihed!
communicating 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 them, I say, and do not curse them.
15 Glæder eder med de glade, og græder med de grædende!
Rejoice with those that rejoice, and 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!
Be alike affected to each other: not aiming at high things, but accommodating yourselves to persons of low rank. Be not wise in your own conceit.
17 Betaler ikke nogen ondt for ondt; lægger Vind paa, hvad der er godt for alle Menneskers Aasyn!
Render to no one evil for evil: behaving honorably in the sight of all men.
18 Dersom det er muligt — saa vidt det staar til eder —, da holder Fred med alle Mennesker!
If it be possible, as much as ye can, live peaceably 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.‟
Avenge not yourselves, my beloved; but rather give place to the wrath of others: for it is written, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompence, 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.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire on 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.
