2 Korinterne 7
1 Derfor, efterdi vi have disse Forjættelser, I elskede! så lader os rense os selv fra al Kødets og Åndens Besmittelse, så vi gennemføre Hellighed i Guds Frygt!
Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God.
2 Giver os Rum; ingen have vi gjort Uret, ingen ødelagt, ingen bedraget.
Receiue vs: we haue done wrong to no man: we haue corrupted no man: we haue defrauded no man.
3 Jeg siger det ikke for at fælde Dom; jeg har jo sagt tilforn, at I ere i vore Hjerter, så at vi dø sammen og leve sammen.
I speake it not to your condemnation: for I haue said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and liue together.
4 Jeg har stor Frimodighed over for eder; jeg roser mig meget af eder, jeg er fuld af Trøst, jeg strømmer over af Glæde under al vor Trængsel.
I vse great boldnesse of speach toward you: I reioyce greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding ioyous in all our tribulation.
5 Thi også da vi kom til Makedonien, havde vort Kød ingen Ro, men vi trængtes på alle Måder: udadtil Kampe, indadtil Angster.
For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side, fightings without, and terrours within.
6 Men han, som trøster de nedbøjede, Gud, han trøstede os ved Titus's Komme;
But God, that comforteth the abiect, comforted vs at the comming of Titus:
7 dog ikke alene ved hans Komme, men også ved den Trøst, hvormed han var bleven trøstet over eder, idet han fortalte os om eders Længsel, eders Gråd, eders Nidkærhed for mig, så at jeg glædede mig end mere.
And not by his comming onely, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he tolde vs your great desire, your mourning, your feruent minde to me warde, so that I reioyced much more.
8 Thi om jeg end har bedrøvet eder ved Brevet, fortryder jeg det ikke. Om jeg også har fortrudt det, - jeg ser jo, at hint Brev, ihvorvel kun til en Tid, har bedrøvet eder, -
For though I made you sorie with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceiue that the same epistle made you sorie, though it were but for a season.
9 så glæder jeg mig nu, ikke over, at I bleve bedrøvede, men over, at I bleve bedrøvede til Omvendelse; thi I bleve bedrøvede efter Guds Sind, for at I ikke i nogen Måde skulde lide Skade af os.
I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs.
10 Thi den Bedrøvelse, der er efter Guds Sind, virker Omvendelse til Frelse, som ikke fortrydes; men Verdens Bedrøvelse virker Død.
For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death.
11 Thi se, just dette, at I bleve bedrøvede efter Guds Sind, hvor stor en Iver virkede det ikke hos eder, ja Forsvar, ja Harme, ja Frygt, ja Længsel, ja Nidkærhed, ja Straf! På enhver Måde beviste I, at I selv vare rene i den Sag.
For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter.
12 Altså, når jeg skrev til eder, var det ikke for hans Skyld, som gjorde Uret, ikke heller for hans Skyld, som led Uret, men for at eders Iver for os skulde blive åbenbar hos eder for Guds Åsyn.
Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you.
13 Derfor ere vi blevne trøstede. Men til vor Trøst kom end yderligere Glæden over Titus's Glæde, fordi hans Ånd har fået Vederkvægelse fra eder alle.
Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 Thi i hvad jeg end har rost mig af eder for ham, er jeg ikke bleven til Skamme; men ligesom vi i alle Ting have talt Sandhed til eder, således er også vor Ros for Titus bleven Sandhed.
For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true.
15 Og hans Hjerte drages inderligere til eder, når han mindes Lydigheden hos eder alle, hvorledes I modtoge ham med Frygt og Bæven.
And his inwarde affection is more aboundant toward you, when he remembreth the obedience of you all, and howe with feare and trembling ye receiued him.
16 Jeg glæder mig over, at jeg i alt kan lide på eder.
I reioyce therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things.
