Romans 8
1 [There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
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 has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has 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 in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk 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 they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are 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 mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
efterdi Kødets Higen er Fjendskab imod Gud, thi det er ikke Guds Lov lydigt, det kan jo ikke heller være det.
8 and they that 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 God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ he 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 but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account 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 that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which 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, brethren, 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 about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall 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 have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have 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 bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
17 And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].
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 this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to 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 anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
20 for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope
Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
21 that the creature itself also shall be set free 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 groans together and travails in pain together until now.
Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
23 And not only [that], but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] 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 have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?
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 what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.
Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
26 And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.
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 But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.
Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
28 But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 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 has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
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 But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has 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 shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?
Hvad skulle vi da sige til dette? Er Gud for os, hvem kan da være imod os?
32 He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?
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 shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:
Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
34 who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes 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 shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
Hvem skal kunne skille os fra Kristi Kærlighed? Trængsel eller Angest eller Forfølgelse eller Hunger eller Nøgenhed eller Fare eller Sværd?
36 According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for 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 more than conquer through him that has 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 angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
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 creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] 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.
