Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Nåden kunde blive desto større?
What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, så mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death?
4 Vi bleve altså begravne med ham ved Dåben til Døden, for at, ligesom Kristus blev oprejst fra de døde ved Faderens Herlighed, således også vi skulle vandre i et nyt Levned.
We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.
5 Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog også være det ved hans Opstandelses,
For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.
6 idet vi erkende dette, at vort gamle Menneske blev korsfæstet med ham, for at Syndens Legeme skulde blive til intet, for at vi ikke mere skulde tjene Synden.
Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi også skulle leve med ham,
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
9 efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Således skulle også I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Så lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, så I lyde dets Begæringer;
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body in order to obey it, in its lusts.
13 fremstiller ej heller eders Lemmer for Synden som Uretfærdigheds Våben; men fremstiller eder selv for Gud som sådanne, der fra døde ere blevne levende, og eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Våben for Gud.
And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Nåde.
for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 Hvad da? skulde vi Synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Nåde? Det være langt fra!
What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!
16 Vide I ikke, at når I fremstille eder for en som Tjenere til Lydighed, så ere I hans Tjenere, hvem I lyde, enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?
Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?
17 Men Gud ske Tak, fordi I have været Syndens Tjenere, men bleve af Hjertet lydige imod den Læreform, til hvilken I bleve overgivne.
But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.
18 Og frigjorde fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness
19 Jeg taler på menneskelig Vis på Grund af eders Køds Skrøbelighed. Ligesom I nemlig fremstillede eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Urenheden og Lovløsheden til Lovløshed, således fremstiller nu eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Retfærdigheden, til Helliggørelse!
(I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when ye were bondmen of sin, ye were uninhibited by righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpå er jo Død.
What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Men nu, da I ere blevne frigjorde fra Synden og ere blevne Guds Tjenere, have I eders Frugt til Helliggørelse og som Enden derpå et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
