Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is to me indeed not burdensome; 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 the dogs, beware of the 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 spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Ånd og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os på Kødet",
4 though, indeed, I have a ground of confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks he has a ground of confidence in the flesh, I more;
endskønt også jeg har det, jeg kunde forlade mig på også i Kødet, Dersom nogen anden synes, han kan forlade sig på Kødet, kan jeg det mere.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as it respects law, a Pharisee;
Jeg er omskåren på den ottende Dag, af Israels Slægt, Benjamins Stamme, en Hebræer af Hebræere, over for Loven en Farisæer,
6 as it respects zeal, persecuting the church; as it respects righteousness which is by law, blameless.
i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
7 But the things which were gain to me, these I counted loss for Christ.
Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
8 Yes, verily, I also count all things to be loss, for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be refuse, 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 på alt og agter det for Skarn, for at jeg kan vinde Kristus
9 and be found in him, not having my own righteousness which was by law, but the righteousness which is by faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith,
og findes i ham, så jeg ikke har min Retfærdighed, den af Loven, men den ved Tro på Kristus, Retfærdigheden fra Gud på Grundlag af Troen,
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, by conforming myself to his death,
for at jeg må 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 from the dead.
om jeg dog kunde nå til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
12 Not that I have already attained, or have already reached the goal; but I am pressing forward, that I may lay hold on that for which I was laid hold on 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 også er greben af Kristus Jesus.
13 Brethren, I do not conclude that I have already laid hold:
Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
14 but one thing I do; forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to those which are before, I press toward the goal, 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 Målet, til den Sejrspris, hvortil Gud fra det høje kaldte os i Kristus Jesus.
15 Let us, therefore, as many as are fully enlightened, be of this mind: and if you are of another mind with respect to any thing, God will reveal even this to you.
Lader da os, så mange som ere fuldkomne, have dette Sindelag; og er der noget, hvori I ere anderledes sindede, da skal Gud åbenbare eder også dette.
16 But as far as we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us have the same mind.
Kun at vi, så vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
17 Be imitators of me, brethren, and observe those who thus walk as you have us for an example.
Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter på dem, der vandre således, som I have os til Forbillede.
18 For many walk, of whom I often said to you, and now say even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of the Christ,
Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu også siger med Tårer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, 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 But our citizenship is in heaven, whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi også forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
21 who will transform our humbled body, and make it like his glorious body, according to that power by which he is able 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 også kan underlægge sig alle Ting.
