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 as a tent, were dissolved, we have a building of God, an 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,
And therefore whilst we are in this tabernacle we groan, being very desirous to be covered with our house which is from heaven: since though unclothed of this body,
3 saa sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
yet 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 burthened; wherefore we desire, not to be wholly unclothed, but to put on immortality, that the mortal part may be swallowed up in life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Aandens Pant.
Now He, that hath wrought us hereunto, is God; who hath also 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, knowing that while we dwell 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, ) we are confident, I say,
8 ja, vi ere frimodige og have snarere Lyst til at vandre bort fra Legemet og være hjemme hos Herren.
and well-pleased rather to be absent 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.
Wherefore we are also ambitious, whether dwelling in the body, or out of it, to be well-pleasing 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 tribunal of Christ, that every one may receive for the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it were good or bad.
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 if not, we are manifest unto God, and I hope we are also manifested to 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 are not again recommending ourselves to you, but giving you an occasion of glorying on our account; that ye may have somewhat 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 whether we be in extasies, it is to God: or if we be composed, it is for your benefit.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ constraineth us, being fully persuaded of this, 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 those who live might 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.
Wherefore we henceforth know no one according to the flesh: and if we have known even Christ after the flesh, yet now we thus know 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!
And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: 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 these things are from God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and made us ministers of the 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.
to declare, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and hath committed unto 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!
We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, and as God exhorteth you by us, we intreat you in Christ's stead, 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 in Him we might be made righteous before God.
