Romerne 8
1 Saa er der da nu ingen Fordømmelse for dem, som ere i Kristus Jesus.
Now then, there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit,
2 Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
because the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of the sin and the death.
3 Thi det, som var Loven umuligt, det, hvori den var afmægtig ved Kødet, det gjorde Gud, idet han sendte sin egen Søn i syndigt Køds Lighed og for Syndens Skyld og saaledes domfældte Synden i Kødet,
Further, what the law could not do, in that it was weak due to the flesh, God has done by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned the sin in the flesh,
4 for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Thi de, som lade sig lede af Kødet, hige efter det kødelige; men de, som lade sig lede af Aanden, hige efter det aandelige.
Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
Further, the mindset of the flesh yields death, but the mindset of the Spirit yields life and peace;
7 efterdi Kødets Higen er Fjendskab imod Gud, thi det er ikke Guds Lov lydigt, det kan jo ikke heller være det.
because the mindset of the flesh represents enmity against God, since it does not submit to God's law, nor indeed can it.
8 Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
So, those who are ‘in flesh’ cannot please God.
9 I derimod ere ikke i Kødet, men i Aanden, om ellers Guds Aand bor i eder. Men om nogen ikke har Kristi Aand, saa hører han ham ikke til.
You, however, are not ‘in flesh’ but ‘in Spirit’, if indeed God's Spirit dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10 Men om Kristus er i eder, da er vel Legemet dødt paa Grund af Synd, men Aanden er Liv paa Grund af Retfærdighed.
But if Christ is in you, the body is dead through sin, but the Spirit is life through righteousness.
11 Men om hans Aand, der oprejste Jesus fra de døde, bor i eder, da skal han, som oprejste Kristus fra de døde, levendegøre ogsaa eders dødelige Legemer ved sin Aand, som bor i eder.
And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live according to it;
13 thi dersom I leve efter Kødet, skulle I dø, men dersom I ved Aanden døde Legemets Gerninger, skulle I leve.
because if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if you put to death the practices of the body, by the Spirit, you will live.
14 Thi saa mange som drives af Guds Aand, disse ere Guds Børn.
Because as many as are led by God's Spirit, these are God's sons
15 I modtoge jo ikke en Trældoms Aand atter til Frygt, men I modtoge en Sønneudkaarelses Aand, i hvilken vi raabe: Abba, Fader!
—you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fear all over again, but you did receive the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”
16 Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
That Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children
17 Men naar vi ere Børn, ere vi ogsaa Arvinger, Guds Arvinger og Kristi Medarvinger, om ellers vi lide med ham for ogsaa at herliggøres med ham.
—if children, also heirs: heirs of God and coheirs with Christ (if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him).
18 Thi jeg holder for, at den nærværende Tids Lidelser ikke ere at regne imod den Herlighed, som skal aabenbares paa os.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed in us.
19 Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
You see, the creation waits with eager anticipation for the revelation of God's sons;
20 Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
because without choice the creation was subjected to futility, due to the One who did the subjecting, based on the hope
21 med Haab om, at ogsaa Skabningen selv skal blive frigjort fra Forkrænkelighedens Trældom til Guds Børns Herligheds Frihed.
that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the freedom of the glory of God's children.
22 Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
Yes, we know that the whole creation has been groaning and in labor pains until now.
23 Dog ikke det alene, men ogsaa vi selv, som have Aandens Førstegrøde, ogsaa vi sukke ved os selv, idet vi forvente en Sønneudkaarelse, vort Legemes Forløsning.
Not only that, we ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 Thi i Haabet bleve vi frelste. Men et Haab, som ses, er ikke et Haab; thi hvad en ser, hvor kan han tillige haabe det?
Yes, we were saved in the hope, but a hope that is seen is not hope—why would anyone hope for what he sees?
25 Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.
26 Og ligeledes kommer ogsaa Aanden vor Skrøbelighed til Hjælp; thi vi vide ikke, hvad vi skulle bede om, som det sig bør, men Aanden selv gaar i Forbøn for os med uudsigelige Sukke.
Likewise also the Spirit comes to the aid of the hope in our weaknesses, since we do not know what we need to pray for. Indeed the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with inexpressible groanings,
27 Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
while He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, since He prays for the saints in accordance with God.
28 Men vi vide, at alle Ting samvirke til gode for dem, som elske Gud, dem, som efter hans Beslutning ere kaldede.
Further, we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to purpose.
29 Thi dem, han forud kendte, forudbestemte han ogsaa til at blive ligedannede med hans Søns Billede, for at han kunde være førstefødt iblandt mange Brødre.
Because whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 Men dem, han forudbestemte, dem kaldte han ogsaa; og dem, han kaldte, dem retfærdiggjorde han ogsaa; men dem, han retfærdiggjorde, dem herliggjorde han ogsaa.
Further, whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
What then shall we say to these things? Since God is for us, who is against us?
32 Han, som jo ikke sparede sin egen Søn, men gav ham hen for os alle, hvorledes skulde han ikke ogsaa med ham skænke os alle Ting?
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also graciously give us all things?
33 Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? God is He who justifies.
34 Hvem er den, som fordømmer? Kristus er den, som er død, ja, meget mere, som er oprejst, som er ved Guds højre Haand, som ogsaa gaar i Forbøn for os.
Who is he who condemns? Christ is He who died, but even more, was indeed raised, who indeed is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes on our behalf.
35 Hvem skal kunne skille os fra Kristi Kærlighed? Trængsel eller Angest eller Forfølgelse eller Hunger eller Nøgenhed eller Fare eller Sværd?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Will it be affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
36 som der er skrevet: „For din Skyld dræbes vi den hele Dag, vi bleve regnede som Slagtefaar.”
(As it is written: “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.”)
37 Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
No, in all these things we prevail completely through Him who loved us.
38 Thi jeg er vis paa, at hverken Død eller Liv eller Engle eller Magter eller noget nærværende eller noget tilkommende eller Kræfter
Because I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come,
39 eller det høje eller det dybe eller nogen anden Skabning skal kunne skille os fra Guds Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus, vor Herre.
neither height nor depth nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
