Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Nåden kunde blive desto større?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we 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 do you not know that all we who were baptized into Meshikha Yeshua 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 buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Meshikha was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might 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 united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of 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.
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
For he 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,
But if we died with Meshikha, 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 Meshikha, being 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 the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life 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.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Meshikha Yeshua.
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, that you should 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.
Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members 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 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? Absolutely 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 present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads 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, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 Og frigjorde fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of 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 in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpå er jo Død.
What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you 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, being made free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
