Romerne 7
1 Eller vide I ikke, Brødre! (thi jeg taler til sådanne, som kender Loven) at Loven hersker over Mennesket, så lang Tid han lever?
Or are you ignorant, brothers — to those knowing for law I speak — that the law rules over the man for as long as [the] time he is alive?
2 Den gifte Kvinde er jo ved Loven bunden til sin Mand, medens han lever; men når Manden dør, er hun løst fra Mandens Lov.
The for married woman to the living husband has been bound by law; if however shall die the husband, she has been cleared from the law of the husband.
3 Derfor skal hun kaldes en Horkvinde, om hun bliver en anden Mands, medens Manden lever: men når Manden dør, er hun fri fra den Lov, så at hun ikke er en Horkvinde, om hun bliver en anden Mands.
Then therefore while is living the husband an adulteress she will be called if she shall become [married] to man another; if however shall die the husband, free she is from the law which not to be her an adulteress having become [married] to man another.
4 Altså ere også I, mine Brødre! gjorte døde for Loven ved Kristi Legeme, for at I skulle blive en andens, hans, som blev oprejst fra de døde, for at vi skulle bære Frugt for Gud.
Likewise, brothers of mine, also you yourselves were put to death to the law through the body of Christ for to belong you to another, to the [One] out from [the] dead having been raised, so that we may bear fruit to God.
5 Thi da vi vare i Kødet, vare de syndige Lidenskaber, som vaktes ved Loven, virksomme i vore Lemmer til at bære Frugt for Døden,
While for we were in the flesh, the passions of sins that [were] through the law were at work in the members of us to the bringing forth of fruit to death;
6 Men nu ere vi løste fra Loven, idet vi ere bortdøde fra det, hvori vi holdtes nede, så at vi tjene i Åndens nye Væsen og ikke i Bogstavens gamle Væsen.
Now however we have been released from the law having died to that which we were bound, in order for to serve us in newness of [the] Spirit and not in oldness of [the] letter.
7 Hvad skulle vi da sige? er Loven Synd? Det være langt fra! Men jeg kendte ikke Synden uden ved Loven; thi jeg kendte jo ikke Begæringen, hvis ikke Loven sagde: "Du må ikke begære."
What then will we say? [Is] the law sin? Never would it be! But sin not I have known only except through law; then for covetousness not I had known, only except the law was saying; Not you will covet;
8 Men da Synden fik Anledning, virkede den ved Budet al Begæring i mig; thi uden Lov er Synden død.
An occasion however having taken sin through the commandment it produced in me myself all covetousness; apart from for [the] Law sin [is] dead;
9 Og jeg levede engang uden Lov, men da Budet kom, levede Synden op;
I myself however was alive apart from law once; when was coming however the commandment the sin revived, I myself then died,
10 men jeg døde, og Budet, som var til Liv, det fandtes at blive mig til Død;
And proved to be me the commandment that [was] to life this to death;
11 thi idet Synden fik Anledning, forførte den mig ved Budet og dræbte mig ved det.
The for sin an occasion having taken through the commandment deceived me and through it put [me] to death;
12 Altså er Loven vel hellig, og Budet helligt og retfærdigt og godt.
So indeed the law [is] holy and the commandment [is] holy and righteous and good.
13 Blev da det gode mig til Død? Det være langt fra! Men Synden blev det, for at den skulde vise sig som Synd, idet den ved det gode virkede Død for mig, for at Synden ved Budet skulde blive overvættes syndig.
That which then [is] good to me myself (became *N(k)O*) death? Never would it be! But sin, in order that it may be shown as sin, through that which [is] good to me is working out death, so that may become beyond excess sinful sin through the commandment.
14 Thi vi vide, at Loven er åndelig; men jeg er kødelig, solgt under Synden.
We know for that the Law spiritual is, I myself however (fleshly *N(k)O*) am sold under sin.
15 Thi jeg forstår ikke, hvad jeg udfører; thi ikke det, som jeg vil, øver jeg, men hvad jeg hader, det gør jeg.
What for I do not I understand; not for what I want this I do, but what I hate this I do.
16 Men når jeg gør det, jeg ikke vil, så samstemmer jeg med Loven i, at den er god.
If now that which not I do want this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good;
17 Men nu er det ikke mere mig, som udfører det, men Synden, som bor i mig.
In that case now no longer no longer I myself am doing it but that which (is dwelling *NK(o)*) in me myself sin.
18 Thi jeg ved, at i mig, det vil sige i mit Kød, bor der ikke godt; thi Villien har jeg vel, men at udføre det gode formår jeg ikke;
I know for that nothing dwells in me myself, That is in the flesh of mine, good; for to wish [to do] is present with me, but to do the good not (find. *K*)
19 thi det gode, som jeg vil, det gør jeg ikke; men det onde, som jeg ikke vil, det øver jeg.
Not for that I desire I do good, but that not I do want evil this I practice.
20 Dersom jeg da gør det, som jeg ikke vil, så er det ikke mere mig, der udfører det, men Synden, som bor i mig.
If now what not I do want (I myself *NK*) this do, no longer no longer I myself who do it but that which is dwelling in me myself sin.
21 Så finder jeg da den Lov for mig, som vil gøre det gode, at det onde ligger mig for Hånden
I find so the principle that which is desiring me myself to do good that me myself evil is present with.
22 Thi jeg glæder mig ved Guds Lov efter det indvortes Menneske;
I delight for in the law of God according to the inward man,
23 men jeg ser en anden Lov i mine Lemmer, som strider imod mit Sinds Lov og tager mig fangen under Syndens Lov, som er i mine Lemmer.
I see however another law in the members of mine warring against the law of the mind of mine and making captive me (to *no*) the law of sin which is being in the members of mine.
24 Jeg elendige Menneske! hvem skal fri mig fra dette Dødens Legeme?
O wretched I myself [am] man! Who me will deliver out of the body of death this?
25 Gud ske Tak ved Jesus Kristus, vor Herre! Altså: jeg selv tjener med Sindet Guds Lov, men med Kødet Syndens Lov.
(Thanks [be] *N(K)O*) (then *no*) to God through Jesus Christ the Lord of us! Then so myself I myself with the indeed mind serve law of God but [with] the flesh [the] law of sin.
