Filipperne 3
1 I øvrigt, mine Brødre glæder eder i Herren! At skrive det samme til eder er ikke til Besvær for mig, men er betryggende for eder.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
2 Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Ånd og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os på Kødet",
For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 endskønt også jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig på også i Kødet, Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig på Kødet, kan jeg det mere.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Jeg er omskåren på den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;
6 i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
7 Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 ja sandelig, jeg agter endog alt for at være Tab imod det langt højere, at kende Kristus Jesus, min Herre, for hvis Skyld jeg har lidt Tab på alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus
Yea doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,
9 og findes i ham, så jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro på Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud på Grundlag af Troen,
And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
10 for at jeg må kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 om jeg dog kunde nå til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Ikke at jeg allerede har grebet det eller allerede er fuldkommen; men jeg jager derefter, om jeg dog kunde gribe det, efterdi jeg også er greben af Kristus Jesus.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I press on, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,
14 Men eet gør jeg: glemmende, hvad der er bagved, men rækkende efter det, som er foran, jager jeg imod Målet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Lader da os, så mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud åbenbare eder også dette.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.
16 Kun at vi, så vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter på dem, der vandre således, som I have os til Forbillede.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk even as ye have us for an example.
18 Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu også siger med Tårer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
( For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 hvis Ende er Fortabelse, hvis Gud er Bugen, og hvis Ære er i deres Skændsel, de, som tragte efter de jordiske Ting.
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi også forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 der skal forvandle vort Fornedrelses-Legeme til at blive ligedannet med hans Herligheds-Legeme, efter den Kraft, ved hvilken han også kan underlægge sig alle Ting.
Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
