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 this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ja, ogsaa i denne sukke vi, længselsfulde efter at overklædes med vor Bolig fra Himmelen,
For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--
3 saa sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.
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.
Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Aandens Pant.
And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.
6 Derfor ere vi altid frimodige og vide, at medens vi ere hjemme i Legemet, ere vi borte fra Herren —
We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;
7 thi i Tro vandre vi, ikke i Beskuelse —
for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.
8 ja, vi ere frimodige og have snarere Lyst til at vandre bort fra Legemet og være hjemme hos Herren.
So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi ogsaa vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
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 of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.
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.
Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.
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 are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
13 Thi naar vi „bleve afsindige‟, var det for Guds Skyld, og naar vi ere besindige, er det for eders Skyld.
For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,
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 that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to 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.
Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
17 Derfor, om nogen er i Kristus, da er han en ny Skabning; det gamle er forbigangent, se, det er blevet nyt!
So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
18 Men alt dette er fra Gud, som forligte os med sig selv ved Kristus og gav os Forligelsens Tjeneste,
And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in 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.
We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.
20 Vi ere altsaa Sendebud i Kristi Sted, som om Gud formaner ved os; vi bede i Kristi Sted: Bliver forligte med Gud!
On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to 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.
He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
