Galaterne 2
1 Senere, efter fjorten Års Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Brnabas og tog også Titus med.
Then fourteen years after I went again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 Men jeg drog op ifølge en Åbenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, - om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure på vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed måtte blive varig hos eder.
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 Men fra deres Side, som ansås for at være noget, (hvordan de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke på et Menneskes Person; ) - over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, ( whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 Men tværtimod, da de så, at jeg har fået Evangeliet til de uomskårne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskårne,
But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;
8 (thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskårne, gav også mig Kaft dertil for Hedningerne; )
( For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
9 og da de lærte den mig givne Nåde at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansås for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshånd for at vi skulde gå til Hedningerne og de til de omskårne;
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
10 kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg også just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was diligent to do.
11 Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, trådte jeg op imod ham for hans åbne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
But when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
13 Og med ham hyklede også de øvrige Jøder, så at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
And the other Jews likewise were hypocrites with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 Men da jeg så, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Påhør: Når du, som er en Jøde, lever på hedensk og ikke på jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro på Jesus Kristus, så have også vi troet på Kristus Jesus, for at vi måtte blive retfærdiggjorte al Tro på Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Geringer skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 Men når vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, også selv fandtes at være Syndere, så er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.
18 når jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I may live to God.
20 Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever, i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen, på Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Nåde; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
I do not set aside the grace of God: for if righteousness is gained by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.
