Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
It can not be. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Know you not that as many of us as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into his death?
4 Vi bleve altsaa begravne med ham ved Daaben til Døden, for at, ligesom Kristus blev oprejst fra de døde ved Faderens Herlighed, saaledes ogsaa vi skulle vandre i et nyt Levned.
Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in a new life.
5 Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog ogsaa være det ved hans Opstandelses,
For if we have become united to him by the likeness of his death, we shall certainly be united to him by the likeness of his resurrection;
6 idet vi erkende dette, at vort gamle Menneske blev korsfæstet med ham, for at Syndens Legeme skulde blive til intet, for at vi ikke mere skulde tjene Synden.
knowing this, that our former man has been crucified with him, in order that the sinful body may be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer serve sin:
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
for he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi ogsaa skulle leve med ham,
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death has dominion over him no longer;
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
for, as it regards his dying, he, once for all, died to sin; but as it regards his living, he lives to God.
11 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
So also do you count yourselves as dead indeed to sin, but as living to God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey it;
13 fremstiller ej heller eders Lemmer for Synden som Uretfærdigheds Vaaben; men fremstiller eder selv for Gud som saadanne, der fra døde ere blevne levende, og eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Vaaben for Gud.
and present not your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder; I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Naade.
For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Hvad da? skulde vi synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Naade? Det være langt fra!
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? It can not be.
16 Vide I ikke, at naar I fremstille eder for en som Tjenere til Lydighed, saa ere I hans Tjenere, hvem I lyde, enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?
Know you not, that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether of sin that leads to death, or of obedience that leads to righteousness?
17 Men Gud ske Tak, fordi I have været Syndens Tjenere, men bleve af Hjertet lydige imod den Læreform, til hvilken I bleve overgivne.
But thanks be to God, that though you were the servants of sin, yet you have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching, in which you have been instructed;
18 Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
and being made free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness.
19 Jeg taler paa menneskelig Vis paa Grund af eders Køds Skrøbelighed. Ligesom I nemlig fremstillede eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Urenheden og Lovløsheden til Lovløshed, saaledes fremstiller nu eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Retfærdigheden til Helliggørelse!
I speak of what is common among men, oil account of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have presented your members as servants to uncleanness, and to lawlessness, in order to lawlessness, so now present your members as servants to righteousness, in order to holiness.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpaa er jo Død.
What fruit, therefore, had you at that time, in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Men nu, da I ere blevne frigjorte fra Synden og ere blevne Guds Tjenere, have I eders Frugt til Helliggørelse og som Enden derpaa et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
But now, since you have been made free from sin, and have become servants to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
