Romans 6
1 What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving-kindness may be multiplied?
Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulde vi blive ved i Synden, for at Naaden kunde blive desto større?
2 Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, and how can we go on living in it?
Det være langt fra! Vi, som jo ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?
3 Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
Eller vide I ikke, at vi, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus Jesus, bleve døbte til hans Død?
4 Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new Life.
Vi bleve altsaa begravne med ham ved Daaben til Døden, for at, ligesom Kristus blev oprejst fra de døde ved Faderens Herlighed, saaledes ogsaa vi skulle vandre i et nyt Levned.
5 If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we shall also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
Thi ere vi blevne sammenvoksede med ham ved hans Døds Afbillede, skulle vi dog ogsaa være det ved hans Opstandelses,
6 We recognise the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of Sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to Sin.
idet vi erkende dette, at vort gamle Menneske blev korsfæstet med ham, for at Syndens Legeme skulde blive til intet, for at vi ikke mere skulde tjene Synden.
7 For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from Sin.
Thi den, som er død, er retfærdiggjort fra Synden.
8 And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s Death, we shall also share his Life.
Men dersom vi ere døde med Kristus, da tro vi, at vi ogsaa skulle leve med ham,
9 We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
efterdi vi vide, at Kristus, efter at være oprejst fra de døde, ikke mere dør; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.
10 For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the Life that he now lives, he lives for God.
Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang fra Synden; men det, han lever, lever han for Gud.
11 So let it be with you — regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
Saaledes skulle ogsaa I anse eder selv for døde fra Synden, men levende for Gud i Kristus Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let Sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
Saa lad da ikke Synden herske i eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde dets Begæringer;
13 Do not offer any part of your bodies to Sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have Life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
fremstiller ej heller eders Lemmer for Synden som Uretfærdigheds Vaaben; men fremstiller eder selv for Gud som saadanne, der fra døde ere blevne levende, og eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Vaaben for Gud.
14 For Sin shall not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of Love.
Thi Synd skal ikke herske over eder; I ere jo ikke under Lov, men under Naade.
15 What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of Love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
Hvad da? skulde vi synde, fordi vi ikke ere under Lov, men under Naade? Det være langt fra!
16 Surely you know that, when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey any one, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be that of Sin which leads to Death, or that of Duty which leads to Righteousness.
Vide I ikke, at naar I fremstille eder for en som Tjenere til Lydighed, saa ere I hans Tjenere, hvem I lyde, enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?
17 God be thanked that, though you were once servants of Sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
Men Gud ske Tak, fordi I have været Syndens Tjenere, men bleve af Hjertet lydige imod den Læreform, til hvilken I bleve overgivne.
18 Set free from the control of Sin, you became servants to Righteousness.
Og frigjorte fra Synden bleve I Retfærdighedens Tjenere.
19 I can but speak as men do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of Righteousness, which leads to holiness.
Jeg taler paa menneskelig Vis paa Grund af eders Køds Skrøbelighed. Ligesom I nemlig fremstillede eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Urenheden og Lovløsheden til Lovløshed, saaledes fremstiller nu eders Lemmer som Tjenere for Retfærdigheden til Helliggørelse!
20 While you were still servants of Sin, you were free as regards Righteousness.
Thi da I vare Syndens Tjenere, vare I frie over for Retfærdigheden.
21 But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is Death.
Hvad for Frugt havde I da dengang? Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme eder; Enden derpaa er jo Død.
22 But now that you have been set free from the control of Sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever-increasing holiness, and the end Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
Men nu, da I ere blevne frigjorte fra Synden og ere blevne Guds Tjenere, have I eders Frugt til Helliggørelse og som Enden derpaa et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
