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 tent-habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ja, også i denne sukke vi, længselsfulde efter at overklædes med vor Bolig fra Himmelen,
For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;
3 så sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, 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 tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality 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 hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.
6 Derfor ere vi altid frimodige og vide, at medens vi ere hjemme i Legemet, ere vi borte fra Herren
We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home 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; but we have courage,
8 ja, vi ere frimodige og have snarere Lyst til at vandre bort fra Legemet og være hjemme hos Herren.
and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi også vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by 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 made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.
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 persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.
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 commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward 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 whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died;
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, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, 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.
So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.
17 Derfor, om nogen er i Kristus, da er han en ny Skabning; det gamle er forbigangent, se, det er blevet nyt!
Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; 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 things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave 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.
seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to 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!
We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat 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 not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
