2 Korinterne 13
1 Det er nu tredje Gang, jeg kommer til eder. Paa to og tre Vidners Mund skal enhver Sag staa fast.
Lo this is the thirde time that I come vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde stand
2 Jeg har sagt det forud og siger det forud, ligesom da jeg anden Gang var nærværende, saaledes ogsaa nu fraværende til dem, som forhen have syndet, og til alle de øvrige, at, om jeg kommer igen, vil jeg ikke skaane,
I tolde you before, and tell you before: as though I had bene present the seconde time, so write I nowe being absent to them which heretofore haue sinned and to all others, that if I come againe, I will not spare,
3 efterdi I fordre Bevis paa, at Kristus taler i mig, han, som ikke er magtesløs over for eder, men er stærk iblandt eder.
Seeing that ye seeke experience of Christ, that speaketh in mee, which towarde you is not weake, but is mightie in you.
4 Thi vel blev han korsfæstet i Magtesløshed, men han lever ved Guds Kraft; og ogsaa vi ere svage i ham, men vi skulle leve med ham ved Guds Kraft over for eder.
For though hee was crucified concerning his infirmitie, yet liueth hee through the power of God. And wee no doubt are weake in him, but we shall liue with him, through the power of God towarde you.
5 Ransager eder selv, om I ere i Troen; prøver eder selv! Eller erkende I ikke om eder selv, at Jesus Kristus er i eder? ellers ere I udygtige.
Proue your selues whether ye are in the faith: examine your selues: knowe yee not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 Men jeg haaber, at I skulle kende, at vi ere ikke udygtige.
But I trust that ye shall knowe that wee are not reprobates.
7 Men vi bede til Gud om, at I intet ondt maa gøre; ikke for at vi maa vise os dygtige, men for at I maa gøre det gode, vi derimod staa som udygtige.
Nowe I pray vnto God that yee doe none euill, not that we should seeme approued, but that ye should doe that which is honest: though we be as reprobates.
8 Thi vi formaa ikke noget imod Sandheden, men for Sandheden.
For wee can not doe any thing against the trueth, but for the trueth.
9 Thi vi glæde os, naar vi ere magtesløse, og I ere stærke; dette ønske vi ogsaa, at I maa blive fuldkommengjorte.
For we are glad when wee are weake, and that ye are strong: this also we wish for, euen your perfection.
10 Derfor skriver jeg dette fraværende, for at jeg ikke nærværende skal bruge Strenghed, efter den Magt, som Herren har givet mig til Opbyggelse, og ikke til Nedbrydelse.
Therefore write I these thinges being absent, least when I am present, I should vse sharpenesse, according to the power which the Lord hath giuen mee, to edification, and not to destruction.
11 I øvrigt, Brødre! glæder eder, bliver fuldkommengjorte, lader eder formane, værer enige, værer fredsommelige, og Kærlighedens og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.
Finally brethren, fare ye well: be perfect: be of good comfort: be of one minde: liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.
12 Hilser hverandre med et helligt Kys!
Greete one another with an holy kisse.
13 Alle de hellige hilse eder.
All the Saintes salute you.
14 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade og Guds Kærlighed og den Helligaands Samfund være med eder alle!
The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all, Amen. ‘The seconde Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, a citie in Macedonia, and sent by Titus and Lucas.’
