Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Nåden kunde blive desto større?
What then will we say? Should 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 never be. We who died to sin, how can we still live in it?
3 Eller vide I ikke, at vi, så mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
Do you not know that as many as 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 buried, then, with him through baptism into death. This happened in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we 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 united with 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 this, that our old man was crucified with him, in order that the body of sin might be destroyed. This happened so that we should no longer be enslaved to sin.
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
He who has died is declared righteous with respect to sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi også skulle leve med ham,
But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him.
9 efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead he cannot die again; death no longer has authority over him.
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
For in regard to the death that he died to sin, he died once for all. However, the life that he lives, he lives for God.
11 Således skulle også I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
In the same way, you also must consider yourselves to be 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 rule in your mortal body in order that you may obey 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.
Do not present the parts of your body to sin, to be tools used for unrighteousness. But present yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and present the parts of your body to God as tools to be used for righteousness.
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Nåde.
Do not allow sin to rule 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? May it never be.
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 the one to whom you present yourselves as slaves is the one to which you are obedient, the one you must obey? This is true whether you are slaves to sin which leads to death, or slaves to 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! For you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching that you were given.
18 Og frigjorde fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
You have been made free from sin, and you have been made 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 like a man because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to uncleanness and to evil, in the same way now, present the parts of your body 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 from righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpå er jo Død.
At that time, what fruit then did you have of the things of which you are now ashamed? For 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 made free from sin and are enslaved to God, you have your fruit for sanctification. The result is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
