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? Should 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?
Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto 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.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of 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 are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be 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 old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
For he that has died is justified 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.
knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, 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 ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
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.
Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
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 ye 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? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
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 ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto 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 ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
18 Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to 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 humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from 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 ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them [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, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
