Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are 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 you free from the law of sin and death.
Thi Livets Aands Lov frigjorde mig i Kristus Jesus fra Syndens og Dødens Lov.
3 For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did. He sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be an offering for sin, and he 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 He did this in order that the requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us, we who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
for at Lovens Krav skulde opfyldes i os, som ikke vandre efter Kødet, men efter Aanden.
5 Those who live according to the flesh pay attention to the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit pay attention to 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 set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
Thi Kødets Higen er Død, men Aandens Higen er Liv og Fred,
7 The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God's law, nor is it able to do so.
efterdi Kødets Higen er Fjendskab imod Gud, thi det er ikke Guds Lov lydigt, det kan jo ikke heller være det.
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Og de, som ere i Kødet, kunne ikke tækkes Gud.
9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is true that God's Spirit lives in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to 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 If Christ is in you, the body is dead with respect to sin, but the spirit is alive with respect to 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 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives 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, but not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
Altsaa, Brødre! ere vi ikke Kødets Skyldnere, saa at vi skulde leve efter Kødet;
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the body's actions, you 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 You did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you live in fear again; but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which 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 himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Aanden selv vidner med vor Aand, at vi ere Guds Børn.
17 If we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God. And we are joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him so 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 consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will 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 eager expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Thi Skabningens Forlængsel venter paa Guds Børns Aabenbarelse.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in the certain hope
Thi Skabningen blev underlagt Forgængeligheden, ikke med sin Villie, men for hans Skyld, som lagde den derunder,
21 that the creation itself will be delivered from slavery to decay, and that it will be brought into the freedom 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 and labors in pain together even now.
Thi vi vide, at hele Skabningen tilsammen sukker og er tilsammen i Veer indtil nu.
23 Not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our 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 in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?
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 have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Men dersom vi haabe det, som vi ikke se, da forvente vi det med Udholdenhed.
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
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 He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
Og han, som ransager Hjerterne, ved, hvad Aandens Higen er, at den efter Guds Villie gaar i Forbøn for hellige.
28 We know that for those who love God, he works all things together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Men vi vide, at alle Ting samvirke til gode for dem, som elske Gud, dem, som efter hans Beslutning ere kaldede.
29 Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn 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 Those whom he predestined, these he also called. Those whom he called, these he also justified. Those whom he justified, 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 shall we say about 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 spare his own Son but delivered him up on behalf of us all, how will he not also with him freely give 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 will bring any accusation against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies.
Hvem vil anklage Guds udvalgte? Gud er den, som retfærdiggør.
34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding 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? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, 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 Just as it is written, “For your benefit we are killed all day long. We were considered as sheep for the slaughter.”
som der er skrevet: „For din Skyld dræbes vi den hele Dag, vi bleve regnede som Slagtefaar.‟
37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
Men i alt dette mere end sejre vi ved ham, som elskede os.
38 For I have been convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, 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 created thing, will 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.
