Romans 8
1 Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit.
Saa er der da nu ingen Fordømmelse for dem, som ere i Kristus Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.
Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
3 For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Thi det, som var Loven umuligt, det, hvori den var afmægtig ved Kødet, det gjorde Gud, idet han sendte sin egen Søn i syndigt Køds Lighed og for Syndens Skyld og saaledes domfældte Synden i Kødet,
4 so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.
for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
5 For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Thi de, som lade sig lede af Kødet, hige efter det kødelige; men de, som lade sig lede af Aanden, hige efter det aandelige.
6 For the mentality of the flesh is death, but the mentality of the Spirit is life and peace.
Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
7 Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able.
efterdi Kødets Higen er Fjendskab imod Gud, thi det er ikke Guds Lov lydigt, det kan jo ikke heller være det.
8 And those who are in flesh cannot please God.
Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
9 But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.
I derimod ere ikke i Kødet, men i Aanden, om ellers Guds Aand bor i eder. Men om nogen ikke har Kristi Aand, saa hører han ham ikke til.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
Men om Kristus er i eder, da er vel Legemet dødt paa Grund af Synd, men Aanden er Liv paa Grund af Retfærdighed.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.
Men om hans Aand, der oprejste Jesus fra de døde, bor i eder, da skal han, som oprejste Kristus fra de døde, levendegøre ogsaa eders dødelige Legemer ved sin Aand, som bor i eder.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to flesh.
Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
13 For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.
thi dersom I leve efter Kødet, skulle I dø, men dersom I ved Aanden døde Legemets Gerninger, skulle I leve.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Thi saa mange som drives af Guds Aand, disse ere Guds Børn.
15 For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
I modtoge jo ikke en Trældoms Aand atter til Frygt, men I modtoge en Sønneudkaarelses Aand, i hvilken vi raabe: Abba, Fader!
16 The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God.
Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
17 And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly.
Men naar vi ere Børn, ere vi ogsaa Arvinger, Guds Arvinger og Kristi Medarvinger, om ellers vi lide med ham for ogsaa at herliggøres med ham.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not comparable to the glory that is going to be revealed for us.
Thi jeg holder for, at den nærværende Tids Lidelser ikke ere at regne imod den Herlighed, som skal aabenbares paa os.
19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
20 For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.
Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
21 Because the creation itself will also be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
med Haab om, at ogsaa Skabningen selv skal blive frigjort fra Forkrænkelighedens Trældom til Guds Børns Herligheds Frihed.
22 For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing together until now.
Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
23 And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
Dog ikke det alene, men ogsaa vi selv, som have Aandens Førstegrøde, ogsaa vi sukke ved os selv, idet vi forvente en Sønneudkaarelse, vort Legemes Forløsning.
24 For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?
Thi i Haabet bleve vi frelste. Men et Haab, som ses, er ikke et Haab; thi hvad en ser, hvor kan han tillige haabe det?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.
Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
26 And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
Og ligeledes kommer ogsaa Aanden vor Skrøbelighed til Hjælp; thi vi vide ikke, hvad vi skulle bede om, som det sig bør, men Aanden selv gaar i Forbøn for os med uudsigelige Sukke.
27 And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mentality of the Spirit, because he appeals to God for the sanctified.
Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose.
Men vi vide, at alle Ting samvirke til gode for dem, som elske Gud, dem, som efter hans Beslutning ere kaldede.
29 Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers.
Thi dem, han forud kendte, forudbestemte han ogsaa til at blive ligedannede med hans Søns Billede, for at han kunde være førstefødt iblandt mange Brødre.
30 And whom he predestined, these he also called, and whom he called, these he also made righteous, and whom he made righteous, these he also glorified.
Men dem, han forudbestemte, dem kaldte han ogsaa; og dem, han kaldte, dem retfærdiggjorde han ogsaa; men dem, han retfærdiggjorde, dem herliggjorde han ogsaa.
31 What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
32 He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?
Han, som jo ikke sparede sin egen Søn, men gav ham hen for os alle, hvorledes skulde han ikke ogsaa med ham skænke os alle Ting?
33 Who will accuse against the chosen of God? God is he who makes righteous.
Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
34 Who is he who will condemn? It is Christ who died, but more, who also was raised up, who also is at the right hand of God, who also appeals for us.
Hvem er den, som fordømmer? Kristus er den, som er død, ja, meget mere, som er oprejst, som er ved Guds højre Haand, som ogsaa gaar i Forbøn for os.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Hvem skal kunne skille os fra Kristi Kærlighed? Trængsel eller Angest eller Forfølgelse eller Hunger eller Nøgenhed eller Fare eller Sværd?
36 Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter.
som der er skrevet: „For din Skyld dræbes vi den hele Dag, vi bleve regnede som Slagtefaar.‟
37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor agents, nor principal positions, nor powers, nor things that have come, nor things that are coming,
Thi jeg er vis paa, at hverken Død eller Liv eller Engle eller Magter eller noget nærværende eller noget tilkommende eller Kræfter
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
eller det høje eller det dybe eller nogen anden Skabning skal kunne skille os fra Guds Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus, vor Herre.
