2 Korinterne 5
1 Thi vi vide, at dersom vor jordiske Teltbolig nedbrydes, have vi en Bygning fra Gud, en Bolig, som ikke er gjort med Hænder, en evig i Himlene. (aiōnios g166)
FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle should be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ja, ogsaa i denne sukke vi, længselsfulde efter at overklædes med vor Bolig fra Himmelen,
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our mansion which is from heaven;
3 saa sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
that so invested, we may not be found naked.
4 Ja, vi, som ere i dette Telt, sukke besværede, efterdi vi ikke ville afklædes, men overklædes, for at det dødelige kan blive opslugt af Livet.
For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Aandens Pant.
But he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given us the earnest of the spirit.
6 Derfor ere vi altid frimodige og vide, at medens vi ere hjemme i Legemet, ere vi borte fra Herren —
Therefore we have always confidence, and know that whilst we are indwelling in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 thi i Tro vandre vi, ikke i Beskuelse —
(for we walk by faith, not by sight.)
8 ja, vi ere frimodige og have snarere Lyst til at vandre bort fra Legemet og være hjemme hos Herren.
We are confident indeed, and with pleasure expect to go out from the body, and to dwell within with the Lord:
9 Derfor sætte vi ogsaa vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
wherefore also our ambition is, that whether dwelling in the body, or out of the body, we may be acceptable to him.
10 Thi vi skulle alle aabenbares for Kristi Domstol, for at hver kan faa igen, hvad der ved Legemet er gjort, efter det, som han har øvet, enten godt eller ondt.
For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body according to what he hath done, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
11 Efterdi vi da kende Frygten for Herren, søge vi at vinde Mennesker; men for Gud ere vi aabenbare; ja, jeg haaber, at vi ogsaa ere aabenbare for eders Samvittigheder.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been made manifest to God, and I hope also have been made manifest in your consciences.
12 Ikke anbefale vi atter os selv til eder; men vi give eder Anledning til at rose eder af os, for at I kunne have noget at svare dem, som rose sig af det udvortes og ikke af Hjertet.
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have an answer for those who glory in countenance, and not in heart.
13 Thi naar vi „bleve afsindige‟, var det for Guds Skyld, og naar vi ere besindige, er det for eders Skyld.
For if we are transported out of ourselves, it is for God; or if we are sober-minded, it is for your sake.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we judge thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 idet vi have sluttet saaledes: Een er død for alle, altsaa ere de alle døde; og han døde for alle, for at de levende ikke mere skulle leve for sig selv, men for ham, som er død og oprejst for dem.
and he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that died for them, and rose again.
16 Saaledes vide vi fra nu af ikke af nogen efter Kødet; om vi ogsaa have kendt Kristus efter Kødet, gøre vi det dog ikke mere nu.
Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more.
17 Derfor, om nogen er i Kristus, da er han en ny Skabning; det gamle er forbigangent, se, det er blevet nyt!
Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 Men alt dette er fra Gud, som forligte os med sig selv ved Kristus og gav os Forligelsens Tjeneste,
But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 efterdi det jo var Gud, som i Kristus forligte Verden med sig selv, idet han ikke tilregner dem deres Overtrædelser og har nedlagt Forligelsens Ord i os.
namely, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their offences: and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Vi ere altsaa Sendebud i Kristi Sted, som om Gud formaner ved os; vi bede i Kristi Sted: Bliver forligte med Gud!
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God exhorted you by us; we entreat you for Christ’s sake, be ye reconciled to God.
21 Den, som ikke kendte Synd, har han gjort til Synd for os, for at vi skulle blive Guds Retfærdighed i ham.
For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
