Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] 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 Beware of dogs, beware of evil-workers, beware of the concision.
Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and 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 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I 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 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect 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 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
8 Yes doubtless, and I count all things [to be] loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [to be] dung, that I may win 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, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by 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 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
for at jeg maa kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
om jeg dog kunde naa til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I pursue, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended 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 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,
Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
14 I press towards the mark for the prize of the high 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 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this 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 Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Kun at vi, saa vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.
Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter paa dem, der vandre saaledes, som I have os til Forbillede.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the 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 Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind 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 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi ogsaa forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
21 Who will change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue 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.
