A part of the Danish Bible's preface written by the translator:

*"Oh eternal almighty God and most dearest Father, I your poor child, want now very much to get in touch with your Godly majesty, and therefore I ask you with all humbleness, that you with the help of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Brother by the Holy Ghost, will illuminate my understanding, ignite my heart, charge my libs, for your most holy Name's sake, Amen.

Like so should everyone ideally and internally pray who wants to read the Bible, that is these holy subsequent cordial small books, for them rightly to understand, to God's honor and his bliss. For they are not like other books, who are composed and written, after human reason and will, and therefore could be understood by the soul's reasonable acumen, even also of those who are not turned to God and renewed of his excellent grace, by Jesus Christ's Spirit, but those people of the holy God, who were drawn thereto by the Holy Ghost, have comprehended, spoken, and written this, so we first should know that no prophecy, or Godly, Heavenly teaching, in scripture, may be drawn into somebody's own interpretation or resolution, who would mean himself able by himself to be able to interpret and understand, and that no one can rightly hear or grasp God's Word, without him being of God, and his new Creature by the Holy Ghost in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore it is necessary, that all those who wants to rightly comprehend and understand and have The Lord's right mind and meaning, in this wonderful and holy Scripture, which is firmly superior and more precious than all of the world's treasure, should without reluctant defiance let themselves rightly repent by God from the evil, and so of innermost heart pray for that Holy Ghost, by Jesus Christ, and with the help of him in thus way become spiritual, emerge to and get promoted as true Children of God, day after day, and so rightly understand, the more and more, God's spiritual Word, in it's true meaning and power, to their souls daily bettering in fear of God and eternal salvation, whereto it is finally given and written.
Thereon have we examples, in Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and since then in David, all of the prophets and the apostels, and all those who have been scholars for God's Kingdom...

And we know, that Jesus Christ's Father will yet certainly give all those that Holy Ghost, who do not resist him, but in thus way pray thereof rightfully, and there ideally and diligently read and hear, and cordially consider his holy Word. Whereto the same graceful God, give all of us his good Spirit, who can lead us on the right path, to the certain truth, and everlasting life, in his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."*

Dead.

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” - Ephesians 2:5
By Carl Olof Rosenius.

Part II:

But when man is spiritually dead, what is it then, that leads him through life? The apostle says in verse 2 that “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

First, the ways of the world, man follows the main stream, does, as others do, looks upon the world and beholds what the ruling tone is; if it is brutish, he is also brutish, but if the tone be more refined, he lives in more beautiful ways as well; thus, he can appear in many different forms, but all those forms are conformed to the world, to the many, who walk the wide way.

But is the world it’s own master?
No, says the apostle.
The world’s ways are decided by the prince, the prince of the power of the air, Christ also calls him the prince of this world, and The Lord does not turn this piece of wording out to be lying either. We shall never forget, how there are two spiritual kingdoms, and two spiritual princes, which fights for the souls of mankind,
Belial and Christ, the dragon and Michael, the serpent and the seed of the woman, the strong and the stronger.

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,”
It is a fight, which continues, as long the world stands.

The form of government in the kingdom of darkness is founded on lies, murder, deceit, sin, and death, as Christ says, that the prince of the world is the father of lies and was a murderer from the beginning. The servants and subjects of that kingdom are, besides the fallen angels, all ungodly people on this earth and in hell.

The form of government in the Kingdom of Christ is founded on truth and grace, righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. As the scriptures saith; “Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.” And the servants and subjects in that kingdom are, the besides the good angels, all faithful people on this earth and in heaven.

“Alas, if only thou knew, who walks around in Satan’s chain
How truly tough it is, that Satan’s slavery
Then thou wouldn’t hesitate a single moment in thine pain
But instead seek the one, who could make you free
Alas, what a blessed day, you would receive
If you begun right now to believe”

Dead.

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” - Ephesians 2:5

By Carl Olof Rosenius.

Part I:

Mark the apostel’s word which he here uses regarding the natural man’s condition. The short, but very telling word: Dead. “Dead in sins,”.

It is that deeply terrifying word used for everything, that came about as a consequence of the fall of man: “for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” The life given by God has ceased, man is spiritually speaking a corpse. For thus hath The Lord Christ himself spoken: “let the dead bury their dead.”

Many suppose, that this is a hard saying, which is not to be understood by the full meaning of the word, dead, which it normally has; But make no mistake, do not suspect The Lord Christ to have used an over exaggerated expression.
And when we see, that he has just collated in expressed words, the fleshly and the spiritually dead man as two kinds of corpses, then we shall consider the matter at hand, and with astonishment become aware of, which meaning, there lies in the word, dead.

The fleshly corpse is known hereby, that he not only senses nothing, sees nothing, hears nothing, feels nothing, but also that he doesn’t even have a single drawing of breath, despite him having organs, eyes, ears, mouth, and lungs, just as a man who is alive would.

With that then being the case, is it not so with the spiritually dead man as well?

He can have all the exterior senses in a fresh and alive condition, he can have a bright mind, a feeling heart, much wisdom, noble foundations, beautiful words and deeds; all things but the life in Christ.
It is this alone, which he is missing, fellowship with God, a sense for God, for his will, his Word, his grace. He sees, hears, thinks, and feels in a most certainly vital manner, when it comes to all matters that are worldly, which makes sense to him, but he doesn’t sense anything which is of God’s Spirit.

We shall consider some examples hereon: He reads, hears, understands, and believes in a certain way God’s Word, but he can also read and hear God’s most certain condemnations over his existence, and still feel completely at ease.

He reads and hears of the Kingdom of God, of God’s grace and friendship, of the blessed reunion with God, but it does not even awake within him the smallest longing for it, just like there is not even a single drawing of breath with a corpse. His heart is only filled with idols, with earthly and vain matters, and: “What shall we eat? What shall we drink? Wherewith shall we be clothed?” And: “What shall we now see, hear, and enjoy? But God… God what? What does God want?”

That matter he doesn’t regard whatsoever. Yes, notice indeed, how he already has a certain faith in the truth of God’s Word, upon which he maybe never has even doubted, he has something within himself, that bares witness of it; and now he sees and hears in that exact same Word of God the most firm condemnation of every single one who is not born of the Spirit of God, and who is not born again, and at the same time he does not know of any rebirth within himself; and yet still, he only has affection for the most corrupt fruits!
And even still holds this to be the Word of God!

He sees, reads, and hears in the Word of God how there are two ways. The wide, which leads to damnation, that many walk on, and the narrow, which leads to the life, whereupon very few walk; but he doesn’t even worry a single day about which of these ways he himself is walking on. And still he holds the Bible to be God’s Word!

But why doesn’t he fear? Yes, say it!
This is what it is to be dead. Behold, what it entails: Dead. Dead in sins and trespasses.
