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 may be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ja, også i denne sukke vi, længselsfulde efter at overklædes med vor Bolig fra Himmelen,
For in this we groan, longing to be invested with our house which is from heaven:
3 så sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
if indeed having been invested, we shall not be found 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.
For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Åndens Pant.
But the one having wrought us out unto this same thing is God, the one having given unto 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 even knowing that, being present 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.
but we are confident and delighted rather to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi også vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
Therefore we are truly ambitious, whether being present or absent, to be well pleasing unto 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 it behooves us all to appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive according to those things which he has done through the body, whether 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.
Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been made manifest unto God; and I hope that we have indeed 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.
We are not commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion of boasting in our behalf, in order that you may have response to those who glory in appearance, 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 if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we have our right minds, it is for you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all 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 he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.
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.
So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now 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!
So if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, they have become new.
18 Men alt dette er fra Gud, som forligte os med sig selv ved Kristus og gav os Forligelsens Tjeneste,
All things are from God, the one having reconciled us unto himself through Christ, and gave 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.
as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having 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!
Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, 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.
He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
