Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
What shall we say then? 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?
God forbid! how shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Know ye not, that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized 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 baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from 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 have been planted together in the resemblance of his death, so shall we be also 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 is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be inslaved to sin:
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
for he that is thus dead with Christ, is delivered from sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi ogsaa skulle leve med ham,
Now if we be dead 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 being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more power over Him: for as He died, He died once for all on account of sin;
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
but as He liveth, He liveth unto God.
11 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
So also do ye reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 it in the lusts thereof.
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 bodies as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your bodies as 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 have no power over you, inasmuch as ye are not under the 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 the law, but under grace?
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?
God forbid! Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey? either 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 who were servants of sin, have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you:
18 Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
and being set free from sin, ye are 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 after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: as ye have yielded your bodies servants to impurity and iniquity to work iniquity; so now present your bodies servants to righteousness, unto holiness.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when ye were servants 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, which ye are now ashamed of? 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 being set free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
