Romerne 6
1 Hvad skulle vi da sige? skulle vi blive ved i Synden, at Naaden maa blive des overflødigere?2 Det være langt fra! Vi, som ere døde fra Synden, hvorledes skulle vi endnu leve i den?3 Vide I ikke, at vi saa mange, som ere døbte til Christus Jesus, ere døbte til hans Død?4 Vi ere altsaa begravne med ham ved Daaben til Døden, paa det, at, ligesom Christus er opreist fra de Døde ved Faderens Herlighed, saa skulle og vi vandre i et nyt Levnet.5 Thi dersom vi ere blevne forenede med ham ved Lighed med hans Død, da skulle vi og være det i Lighed med hans Opstandelse;6 efterdi vi vide dette, at vort gamle Menneske er korsfæstet med ham, paa det Syndens Legeme skal blive Intet, saa at vi ikke fremdeles skulle tjene Synden.7 Thi hvo som er død, er frigjort fra Synden.8 Men dersom vi ere døde med Christus, da troe vi, at vi og skulle leve med ham,9 efterdi vi vide, at Christus, som er opreist fra de Døde, døer ikke mere; Døden hersker ikke mere over ham.10 Thi det, han døde, døde han een Gang for Synden; men det, han lever, det lever han for Gud.11 Saaledes anseer ogsaa I Eder selv som døde for Synden, men som levende for Gud i Christus Jesus, vor Herre.12 Derfor herske Synden ikke Eders dødelige Legeme, saa I lyde den i dets Begjeringer.13 Fremstiller ei heller Eders Lemmer for Synden til Uretfærdigheds Redskab; men fremstiller Eder selv for Gud til retfærdigheds Redskab.14 Thi Syndens kal ikke herske over Eder; I ere jo ikke under Loven, men under Naaden.15 Hvad da? skulle vi synde, efterdi vi ere ikke under Loven, men under Naaden? Det være langt fra!16 Vide I ikke, at hvem I fremstille Eder som Tjenere til Lydighed, dens Tjenere ere I, hvem I lyde enten Syndens til Død, eller Lydighedens til Retfærdighed?17 Men Gud være Tak, at I have været Syndens Tjenere, men ere nu af Hjertet blevne den Lærdoms Form lydige, hvilken I have annammet,18 og frigjorte fra Synden ere I blevne Retfærdighedens Tjenere.19 Jeg taler efter menneskelig Viis formedelst Eders Kjøds Skrøbelighed. Thi ligesom I have fremstillet Eders Lemmer som Ureenheds og Uretfærdigheds Tjenere til Uretfærdighed, saafremstiller nu Eders Lemmer som Retfærdigheds Tjenere til Helliggjørelse.20 Thi da I vare syndens Tjenere, vare I frie fra Retfærdigheden.21 Hvad havde I da for Frugt af de Ting, ved hvilke I nu skamme Eder? thi Enden derpaa er Døden.22 Men nu I ere frigjorte fra Synden og blevne Guds tjenere, havde I Frugt deraf for Eder til Helliggjørelse, og Enden er et evigt Liv.23 Thi Syndens Sold er Døden, men Guds Naadegave er evigt Liv i Christus Jesus, vor Herre.
Romans 6
The Believer’s Freedom from Sin’s Domination
1 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.t
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.t6 We know thatt our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us,t so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
7 (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)s
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.9 We knowt that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to diet again; death no longer has mastery over him.10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 So you too consider yourselvess dead to sin, butt alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,13 and do not present your members to sin as instrumentst to be used for unrighteousness,t but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instrumentst to be used for righteousness.
14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
The Believer’s Enslavement to God’s Righteousness
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!16 Do you not know that if you present yourselvest as obedient slaves,t you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?t17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyedt from the heart that patternt of teaching you were entrusted to,18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.)ts For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
21 So what benefitt did you then reapt from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.22 But now, freedt from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefitt leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
23 For the payofft of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
