Philippians 3
1 To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep 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 wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
Holder Øje med Hundene, holder Øje med de slette Arbejdere, holder Øje med Sønderskærelsen!
3 for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
Thi vi ere Omskærelsen, vi, som tjene i Guds Ånd og rose os i Kristus Jesus og ikke forlade os på Kødet",
4 for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
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 I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm 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 for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
i Nidkærhed en Forfølger af Menigheden, i Retfærdigheden efter Loven udadlelig.
7 But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
Men hvad der var mig Vinding, det har jeg for Kristi Skyld agtet for Tab;
8 Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might 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 I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
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 I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death,
for at jeg må kende ham og hans Opstandelses Kraft og hans Lidelsers Samfund, idet jeg bliver ligedannet med hans Død,
11 so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
om jeg dog kunde nå til Opstandelsen fra de døde.
12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me 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 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
Brødre! jeg mener ikke om mig selv, at jeg har grebet det.
14 I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through 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 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal 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 We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
Kun at vi, så vidt vi ere komne, vandre i samme Retning.
17 My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
Vorder mine Efterlignere, Brødre! og agter på dem, der vandre således, som I have os til Forbillede.
18 The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
Thi mange vandre, som jeg ofte har sagt eder, men nu også siger med Tårer, som Kristi Kors's Fjender,
19 They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
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 homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
Thi vort Borgerskab er i Himlene, hvorfra vi også forvente som Frelser den Herre Jesus Kristus,
21 He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
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.
