Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write these same things again to you is no trouble for me, and it keeps you safe.
I øvrigt, mine Brødre, glæder eder i Herren! At skrive det samme til eder er ikke til Besvær for mig, men er betryggende for eder.
2 Watch out for the dogs, those evil workers, those who mutilate the flesh.
Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
3 For it is we who are the circumcision. It is we who worship by the Spirit of God. It is we who take pride in Christ Jesus, and who have no confidence in the flesh.
Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Aand og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os paa Kødet,
4 Even so, I myself could have confidence in the flesh. If anyone thinks he has confidence in the flesh, I could have even more.
endskønt ogsaa jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig paa, ogsaa i Kødet. Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig paa Kødet, kan jeg det mere.
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; with regard to the law, a Pharisee.
Jeg er omskaaren paa den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
6 As for zeal, I persecuted the church; as for righteousness under the law, I was blameless.
i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
7 But whatever things were a profit for me, I have considered them as loss because of Christ.
Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
8 In fact, now I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For him I have given up all things—and I consider them rubbish—so that I may gain Christ
ja sandelig, jeg agter endog alt for at være Tab imod det langt højere, at kende Kristus Jesus, min Herre, for hvis Skyld jeg har lidt Tab paa alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus
9 and be found in him. I do not have a righteousness of my own from the law. Instead, I have the righteousness that is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that is from God based on faith.
og findes i ham, saa jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro paa Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud paa Grundlag af Troen,
10 So now I want to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. I want to be transformed into the likeness of his death,
for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
11 so somehow I may experience the resurrection from the dead.
om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
12 It is not true that I have already received these things, or that I have become complete. But I press on in order that I may grasp that for which I was grasped by Christ Jesus.
Ikke at jeg allerede har grebet det eller allerede er fuldkommen; men jeg jager derefter, om jeg dog kunde gribe det, efterdi jeg ogsaa er greben af Kristus Jesus.
13 Brothers, I do not think that I myself have yet grasped it. But there is one thing: I forget what is behind and strain for what is ahead.
Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Men eet gør jeg: Glemmende, hvad der er bagved, men rækkende efter det, som er foran, jager jeg imod Maalet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus.
15 All of us who are mature, let us think this way; and if you think differently about anything, God will also reveal that to you.
Lader da os, saa mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud aabenbare eder ogsaa dette.
16 However, whatever we have reached, let us hold on to it.
Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
17 Be imitators of me, brothers. Closely watch those who are walking by the example that you have in us.
Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
18 Many are walking—those about whom I have often told you, and now I am telling you with tears—as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu ogsaa siger med Taarer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
19 Their end is destruction. For their god is their stomach, and their pride is in their shame. They think about earthly things.
hvis Ende er Fortabelse, hvis Gud er Bugen, og hvis Ære er i deres Skændsel, de, som tragte efter de jordiske Ting.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
21 He will transform our lowly bodies into bodies formed like his glorious body, formed by the might of his power to subject all things to himself.
der skal forvandle vort Fornedrelses-Legeme til at blive ligedannet med hans Herligheds-Legeme, efter den Kraft, ved hvilken han ogsaa kan underlægge sig alle Ting.
