1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
Efterdi da Kristus har lidt i Kødet, så skulle også I væbne eder med det samme Sind (thi den, som har lidt i Kødet, er hørt op med Synd),
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
så at I ikke fremdeles leve den øvrige Tid i Kødet efter Menneskers Lyster, men efter Guds Villie.
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Thi det er nok i den forbigangne Tid at have gjort Hedningernes Villie, idet I have vandret i Uterlighed, Lyster, Fylderi, Svir, Drik og skammelig Afgudsdyrkelse;
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
hvorfor de forundre sig og spotte, når I ikke løbe med til den samme Ryggesløshedens Pøl;
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
men de skulle gøre ham Regnskab, som er rede til at dømme levende og døde.
6 For this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
Thi derfor blev Evangeliet forkyndt også for døde, for at de vel skulde være dømte på Menneskers Vis i Kødet, men leve på Guds Vis i Ånden.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
Men alle Tings Ende er kommen nær; værer derfor årvågne og ædru til Bønner!
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Hav fremfor alt en inderlig Kærlighed til hverandre; thi "Kærlighed skjuler en Mangfoldighed af Synder".
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Vær gæstfri imod hverandre uden Knurren.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Eftersom enhver har fået en Nådegave, skulle I tjene hverandre dermed som gode Husholdere over Guds mangfoldige Nåde.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus (the) Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Taler nogen, han tale som Guds Ord; har nogen en Tjeneste, han tjene, efter som Gud forlener ham Styrke dertil, for at Gud må æres i alle Ting ved Jesus Kristus, hvem Herligheden og Magten tilhører i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
I elskede! undrer eder ikke over den Ild, som brænder iblandt eder til eders Prøvelse, som om der hændtes eder noget underligt;
13 But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
men glæder eder i samme Mål, som I have Del i Kristi Lidelser, for at I også kunne glæde og fryde eder ved hans Herligheds Åbenbarelse.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Dersom I hånes for Kristi Navns Skyld, ere I salige; thi Herlighedens og Guds Ånd hviler over eder.
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
Thi ingen af eder bør lide som Morder eller Tyv eller Ugerningsmand eller som en, der blander sig i anden Mands Sager;
16 But if as a "Follower of the Messiah," let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
men lider han som en Kristen, da skamme han sig ikke, men prise Gud for dette Navn!
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Thi det er Tiden til, at Dommen skal begynde med Guds Hus: men begynder den først med os, hvad Ende vil det da få med dem, som ere genstridige imod Guds Evangelium?
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
Og dersom den retfærdige med Nød og neppe bliver frelst, hvor skal da den ugudelige og Synderen blive af?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Derfor skulle også de, som lide efter Guds Villie, befale den trofaste Skaber deres Sjæle, idet de gøre det gode.
