Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Nåden kunde blive desto større?
What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, så mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized 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 therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too 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 been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His 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.
We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi også skulle leve med ham,
Now 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.
For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life 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 you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Så lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, så I lyde dets Begæringer;
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
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.
Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Nåde.
For sin shall not be your master, because you 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? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
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?
Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to 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 be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
18 Og frigjorde fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves 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 am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpå er jo Død.
What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome 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 that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
