Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Nåden kunde blive desto større?
To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
No, indeed; how shall we who have 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?
And do you not know that all of us who have been 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.
Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
5 Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog også være det ved hans Opstandelses,
For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing 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.
This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi også skulle leve med ham,
But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall 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.
because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation 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 you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
12 Så lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, så I lyde dets Begæringer;
Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
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 no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.
14 Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Nåde.
For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
15 Hvad da? skulde vi Synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Nåde? Det være langt fra!
Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
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 if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in 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 were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
18 Og frigjorde fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants 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!
your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.
20 Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.
21 Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpå er jo Død.
At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in 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 the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result. (aiōnios g166)
