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 house on earth-this of the body, were dissolved, yet 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,
And on this account also, we groan, and wish to be clothed with our house from heaven:
3 så sandt vi da som iklædte ikke skulle findes nøgne.
if indeed, when clothed, 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 while we are here in this house, we groan under its burden; yet ye desire, not to throw it off; but to be clothed over it, so that its mortality may be absorbed in life.
5 Men den, som har sat os i Stand just til dette, er Gud, som gav os Åndens Pant.
And he that prepareth us for this thing, is God: who hath given us the earnest of his Spirit.
6 Derfor ere vi altid frimodige og vide, at medens vi ere hjemme i Legemet, ere vi borte fra Herren
Therefore, because we know and are persuaded, that while we lodge in the body we sojourn away from our 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.
therefore we are confident, and desirous to be away from the body, and to be with our Lord.
9 Derfor sætte vi også vor Ære i, hvad enten vi ere hjemme eller borte, at være ham velbehagelige.
We are assiduous, that whether we are absent, or whether at home, we may 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 are all to stand before the judgment-seat of the Messiah, that each may receive retribution in the body, for what he hath done in it, whether of good, or whether of 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 because we know the fear of our Lord we persuade men; and we are made manifest unto God; and I hope also, we are made manifest to your minds.
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 do not again laud ourselves to you; but we give you occasion to glory in us, to them 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 extravagant, it is for God: and if we are discreet, it is for you.
14 Thi Kristi Kærlighed tvinger os,
For the love of the Messiah constraineth us to reason thus: One died for all; therefore are 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, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to 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.
And therefore, we know no person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we 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!
Whoever therefore is in the Messiah, is a new creature: old things have passed away;
18 Men alt dette er fra Gud, som forligte os med sig selv ved Kristus og gav os Forligelsens Tjeneste,
and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, 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 was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who 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!
We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, 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, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.
