1 Peter 4

1 Efterdi da Kristus har lidt i Kødet, så skulle også I væbne eder med det samme Sind (thi den, som har lidt i Kødet, er hørt op med Synd),

Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind, because he who suffered in the flesh has finished [with] sin,

2 så at I ikke fremdeles leve den øvrige Tid i Kødet efter Menneskers Lyster, men efter Guds Villie.

no longer in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

3 Thi det er nok i den forbigangne Tid at have gjort Hedningernes Villie, idet I have vandret i Uterlighed, Lyster, Fylderi, Svir, Drik og skammelig Afgudsdyrkelse;

for the time has sufficiently passed to have carried out the will of the nations, having walked in licentiousness, lusts, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

4 hvorfor de forundre sig og spotte, når I ikke løbe med til den samme Ryggesløshedens Pøl;

in which they think it strange—your not running with them to the same excess of wastefulness, slandering [you]—

5 men de skulle gøre ham Regnskab, som er rede til at dømme levende og døde.

who will give an account to Him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead,

6 Thi derfor blev Evangeliet forkyndt også for døde, for at de vel skulde være dømte på Menneskers Vis i Kødet, men leve på Guds Vis i Ånden.

for this also was good news proclaimed to dead men, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, but may live according to God in the Spirit.

7 Men alle Tings Ende er kommen nær; værer derfor årvågne og ædru til Bønner!

Now the end of all things has come near; be sober-minded, then, and be sober in [your] prayers.

8 Hav fremfor alt en inderlig Kærlighed til hverandre; thi "Kærlighed skjuler en Mangfoldighed af Synder".

Before all things, having earnest love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

9 Vær gæstfri imod hverandre uden Knurren.

[be] hospitable to one another, without murmuring;

10 Eftersom enhver har fået en Nådegave, skulle I tjene hverandre dermed som gode Husholdere over Guds mangfoldige Nåde.

each [one], according as he received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

11 Taler nogen, han tale som Guds Ord; har nogen en Tjeneste, han tjene, efter som Gud forlener ham Styrke dertil, for at Gud må æres i alle Ting ved Jesus Kristus, hvem Herligheden og Magten tilhører i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)

if anyone speaks, [speak] as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, [minister] as of the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 I elskede! undrer eder ikke over den Ild, som brænder iblandt eder til eders Prøvelse, som om der hændtes eder noget underligt;

Beloved, do not think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

13 men glæder eder i samme Mål, som I have Del i Kristi Lidelser, for at I også kunne glæde og fryde eder ved hans Herligheds Åbenbarelse.

but according as you have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that you may also rejoice in the revelation of His glory—exulting;

14 Dersom I hånes for Kristi Navns Skyld, ere I salige; thi Herlighedens og Guds Ånd hviler over eder.

if you are reproached in the Name of Christ—[you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you; in regard, indeed, to them, is evil spoken of Him, and in regard to you, He is glorified;

15 Thi ingen af eder bør lide som Morder eller Tyv eller Ugerningsmand eller som en, der blander sig i anden Mands Sager;

for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as a meddler into other men’s matters;

16 men lider han som en Kristen, da skamme han sig ikke, men prise Gud for dette Navn!

and if as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this respect;

17 Thi det er Tiden til, at Dommen skal begynde med Guds Hus: men begynder den først med os, hvad Ende vil det da få med dem, som ere genstridige imod Guds Evangelium?

because it is the time of the judgment to have begun from the house of God, and if first from us, what [is] the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?

18 Og dersom den retfærdige med Nød og neppe bliver frelst, hvor skal da den ugudelige og Synderen blive af?

And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?

19 Derfor skulle også de, som lide efter Guds Villie, befale den trofaste Skaber deres Sjæle, idet de gøre det gode.

So that those also suffering according to the will of God, as to a steadfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in doing good.
