Romerne 8
1 Saa er der da nu ingen Fordømmelse for dem, som ere i Kristus Jesus.
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
For the law of the Spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath made me free from the law of sin and 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,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not 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.
For they that are according to the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] 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 carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
So then they that are in the 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.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not 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.
And if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of 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.
But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised Christ from the dead will also revive your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 thi dersom I leve efter Kødet, skulle I dø, men dersom I ved Aanden døde Legemets Gerninger, skulle I leve.
For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 Thi saa mange som drives af Guds Aand, disse ere Guds Børn.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 I modtoge jo ikke en Trældoms Aand atter til Frygt, men I modtoge en Sønneudkaarelses Aand, i hvilken vi raabe: Abba, Fader!
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
The Spirit itself testifieth with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
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.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if we suffer with [him], that we may be glorified together.
18 Thi jeg holder for, at den nærværende Tids Lidelser ikke ere at regne imod den Herlighed, som skal aabenbares paa os.
For I reckon, that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope:
21 med Haab om, at ogsaa Skabningen selv skal blive frigjort fra Forkrænkelighedens Trældom til Guds Børns Herligheds Frihed.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth, and travaileth in pain together 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.
And not only [they], but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], 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?
For we are saved by hope: But hope that is seen, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
But if we hope for what we see not, [then] with patience we wait for [it].
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 the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints, according to [the will of] God.
28 Men vi vide, at alle Ting samvirke til gode for dem, som elske Gud, dem, som efter hans Beslutning ere kaldede.
And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] 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.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.
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.
Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
What shall we then say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] 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 that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
Who will lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth:
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 that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, or rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
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? [shall] tribulation, 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 thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
But in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that 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
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor 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.
Nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
