Romans 6
1 Then what shall we say? must we abide in sin, in order that grace may abound?
Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
2 It could not be so. How shall we, who are dead unto sin, live any longer in it?
Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
3 Whether do you not know, that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?
Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
4 Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also 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 grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of his 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 is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve 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 the one having died has been made free from sin.
Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
8 But if we died along 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 risen from the dead dies no more; death no longer 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 the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives unto God.
Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
11 So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.
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 that you should obey the lusts of it:
Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
13 neither present your members arms of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members arms of righteousness unto 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 shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder; I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Naade.
15 What then? can we commit sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? it could not be so.
Hvad da? skulde vi synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Naade? Det være langt fra!
16 Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants unto obedience, ye are servants to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or obedience unto 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 be unto God, that whereas ye were servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the type of teaching into 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 but having been made free from sin, ye became servants unto righteousness.
Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
19 I speak after the manner of a man on account of the weakness of your carnality. For as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and lawlessness pursuant to lawlessness, so now present your members servants unto righteousness pursuant to 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 you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
21 What fruit then had you at that time in those things in which you are now ashamed? for the end of these 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 servants unto God, you have your fruit unto 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)
