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, which is but a tent, should be destroyed, 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 upon with our house that is from heaven,
3 saa sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
since, having been clothed, we shall 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 who are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, not because we wish to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Aandens Pant.
Now, he that has formed us for this very thing is God, who also has 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 are always confident, especially since we know that, while living 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 would be pleased rather to depart from the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi ogsaa vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
For this reason we also endeavor, whether we remain in the body or depart from it, to 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 his reward for the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether good or 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, then, the fearful judgment of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God. I hope, indeed, that we are also 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.
We do not again commend ourselves to you, but give you an occasion to boast of us, that you may be able to answer those who glory in appearance, 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 be beside ourselves, it is for God; or, if we be of sound mind, it is for you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ constrains us, because we have this judgment―that if one died for all, then have all died:
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 those who live should no more live for themselves, but for him who 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.
So, then, we henceforth know no man according to the flesh; if, indeed, we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer thus know him.
17 Derfor, om nogen er i Kristus, da er han en ny Skabning; det gamle er forbigangent, se, det er blevet nyt!
So, then, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
18 Men alt dette er fra Gud, som forligte os med sig selv ved Kristus og gav os Forligelsens Tjeneste,
And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has 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.
that is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging their offenses to them, and he has 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 act as ambassadors for Christ, as though God entreated through us; we beseech in Christ’s stead, be 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 has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
