Romans 6
1 What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?
Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
2 May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?
Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
3 Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death?
Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
4 We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.
Vi bleve altsaa begravne med ham ved Daaben til Døden, for at, ligesom Kristus blev oprejst fra de døde ved Faderens Herlighed, saaledes ogsaa vi skulle vandre i et nyt Levned.
5 For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.
Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog ogsaa være det ved hans Opstandelses,
6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.
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.
7 For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin.
Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi ogsaa skulle leve med ham,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
10 For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.
Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
11 So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Saaledes skulle ogsaa I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body in order to obey it, in its lusts.
Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
13 And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,
fremstiller ej heller eders Lemmer for Synden som Uretfærdigheds Vaaben; men fremstiller eder selv for Gud som saadanne, der fra døde ere blevne levende, og eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Vaaben for Gud.
14 for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.
Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder; I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Naade.
15 What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!
Hvad da? skulde vi synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Naade? Det være langt fra!
16 Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?
Vide I ikke, at naar I fremstille eder for en som Tjenere til Lydighed, saa ere I hans Tjenere, hvem I lyde, enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?
17 But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.
Men Gud ske Tak, fordi I have været Syndens Tjenere, men bleve af Hjertet lydige imod den Læreform, til hvilken I bleve overgivne.
18 And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness
Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
19 (I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.
Jeg taler paa menneskelig Vis paa Grund af eders Køds Skrøbelighed. Ligesom I nemlig fremstillede eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Urenheden og Lovløsheden til Lovløshed, saaledes fremstiller nu eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Retfærdigheden til Helliggørelse!
20 For when ye were bondmen of sin, ye were uninhibited by righteousness.
Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
21 What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpaa er jo Død.
22 But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Men nu, da I ere blevne frigjorte fra Synden og ere blevne Guds Tjenere, have I eders Frugt til Helliggørelse og som Enden derpaa et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
