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, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ja, også i denne sukke vi, længselsfulde efter at overklædes med vor Bolig fra Himmelen,
For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.
3 så sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
Yet so that we be found clothed, not 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 also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which 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 Åndens Pant.
Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.
6 Derfor ere vi altid frimodige og vide, at medens vi ere hjemme i Legemet, ere vi borte fra Herren
Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
7 thi i Tro vandre vi, ikke i Beskuelse
(For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)
8 ja, vi ere frimodige og have snarere Lyst til at vandre bort fra Legemet og være hjemme hos Herren.
But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi også vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
10 Thi vi skulle alle åbenbares for Kristi Domstol, for at hver kan få igen, hvad der ved Legemet er gjort, efter det, som han har øvet, enten godt eller ondt.
For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
11 Efterdi vi da kende Frygten for Herren, søge vi at vinde Mennesker; men for Gud ere vi åbenbare; ja, jeg håber, at vi også ere åbenbare for eders Samvittigheder.
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.
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 commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.
13 Thi når vi "bleve afsindige"; var det for Guds Skyld, og når vi ere besindige, er det for eders Skyld.
For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.
15 idet vi have sluttet således: Een er død for alle, altså 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 Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.
16 Således vide vi fra nu af ikke af nogen efter Kødet; om vi også have kendt Kristus efter Kødet, gøre vi det dog ikke mere nu.
Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him 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!
If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made 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 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.
For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20 Vi ere altså Sendebud i Kristi Sted, som om Gud formaner ved os; vi bede i Kristi Sted: Bliver forligte med Gud!
For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, 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.
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
