¹Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

¹Men vi, som ere stærke, bør bære de svages Skrøbeligheder og ikke være os selv til Behag.

²Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

²Enhver af os være sin Næste til Behag til det gode, til Opbyggelse.

³For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” Psalm 69:9

³Thi også Kristus var ikke sig selv til Behag; men, som der er skrevet: "Deres Forhånelser, som håne dig, ere faldne på mig."

⁴For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁴Thi alt, hvad der er skrevet tilforn, det er skrevet til vor Belæring, for at vi skulle have Håbet ved Udholdenheden og Skrifternes Trøst.

⁵Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

⁵Men Udholdenhedensog Trøstens Gud give eder at være enige indbyrdes, som Kristus Jesus vil det,

⁶that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶for at I endrægtigt med een Mund kunne prise Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader.

⁷Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, TR reads “us” instead of “you” to the glory of God.

⁷Derfor tager eder af hverandre, ligesom også Kristus har taget sig af os, til Guds Ære.

⁸Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

⁸Jeg siger nemlig, at Kristus er bleven Tjener for omskårne for Guds Sanddruheds Skyld for at stadfæste Forjættelserne til Fædrene;

⁹and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore will I give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” 2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49

⁹men at Hedningerne skulle prise Gud for hans Barmhjertigheds Skyld, som der er skrevet: "Derfor vil jeg bekende dig iblandt Hedninger og lovsynge dit Navn,"

¹⁰Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” Deuteronomy 32:43

¹⁰Og atter siges der: "Fryder eder, I Hedninger, med hans Folk!"

¹¹Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.” Psalm 117:1

¹¹Og atter: "Lover Herren, alle Hedninger, og alle Folkene skulle prise ham."

¹²Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.” Isaiah 11:10

¹²Og atter siger Esajas: "Komme skal Isajs Rodskud og han, der rejser sig for at herske over Hedninger; på ham skulle Hedninger håbe."

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹³Men Håbets Gud fylde eder med al Glæde og Fred, idet I tro, for at I må blive rige i Håbet ved den Helligånds Kraft!

¹⁴I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

¹⁴Men også jeg, mine Brødre! har selv den Forvisning om eder, at I også selv ere fulde af Godhed, fyldte med al Kundskab, i Stand til også at påminde hverandre.

¹⁵But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

¹⁵Dog har jeg for en Del tilskrevet eder noget dristigere for at påminde eder på Grund af den Nåde, som er given mig fra Gud

¹⁶that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶til iblandt Hedningerne at være en Kristi Jesu Offertjener, der som Præst betjener Guds Evangelium, for at Hedningerne må blive et velbehageligt Offer, helliget ved den Helligånd.

¹⁷I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

¹⁷Således har jeg min Ros i Kristus Jesus af min Tjeneste for Gud.

¹⁸For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

¹⁸Thi jeg vil ikke driste mig til at tale om noget af det, som Kristus ikke har udført ved mig til at virke Hedningers Lydighed, ved Ord og Handling,

¹⁹in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

¹⁹ved Tegns og Undergerningers Kraft, ved Guds Ånds Kraft, så at jeg fra Jerusalem og trindt omkring indtil Illyrien har til fulde forkyndt Kristi Evangelium;

²⁰yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.

²⁰dog således, at jeg sætter min Ære i at forkynde Evangeliet ikke der, hvor Kristus er nævnet, for at jeg,ikke skal bygge på en andens Grundvold,

²¹But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.” Isaiah 52:15

²¹men, som der er skrevet: "De, for hvem der ikke blev kundgjort om ham, skulle se, og de, som ikke have hørt, skulle forstå."

²²Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,

²²Derfor er jeg også de mange Gange bleven forhindret i at komme til eder.

²³but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

²³Men nu, da jeg ikke mere har Rum i disse Egne og i mange År har haft Længsel efter at komme til eder,

²⁴whenever I journey to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

²⁴vil jeg, når jeg rejser til Spanien, komme til eder; thi jeg håber at se eder på Gennemrejsen og af eder at blive befordret derhen, når jeg først i nogen Måde er bleven tilfredsstillet hos eder.

²⁵But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

²⁵Men nu rejser jeg til Jerusalem i Tjeneste for de hellige.

²⁶For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

²⁶Thi Makedonien og Akaja have fundet Glæde i at gøre et Sammenskud til de fattige iblandt de hellige i Jerusalem.

²⁷Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

²⁷De have nemlig fundet Glæde deri, og de ere deres Skyldnere. Thi ere Hedningerne blevne delagtige i hines åndelige Goder, da ere de også skyldige at tjene dem med de timelige.

²⁸When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

²⁸Når jeg da har fuldbragt dette og beseglet denne Frugt for dem, vil jeg derfra drage om ad eder til Spanien.

²⁹I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.

²⁹Men jeg ved, at når jeg kommer til eder, skal jeg komme med Kristi Velsignelses Fylde.

³⁰Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

³⁰Men jeg formaner eder,Brødre! ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus og ved Åndens Kærlighed til med mig at stride i eders Bønner for mig til Gud,

³¹that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

³¹for at jeg må udfries fra de genstridige i Judæa, og mit Ærinde til Jerusalem må blive de hellige kærkomment,

³²that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

³²for at jeg kan komme til eder med Glæde, ved Guds Villie, og vederkvæges med eder.

³³Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

³³Men Fredens Gud være med eder alle! Amen.
