2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Derfor, efterdi vi have disse Forjættelser, I elskede! saa lader os rense os selv fra al Kødets og Aandens Besmittelse, saa vi gennemføre Hellighed i Guds Frygt!
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Giver os Rum; ingen have vi gjort Uret, ingen ødelagt, ingen bedraget.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
Jeg siger det ikke for at fælde Dom; jeg har jo sagt tilforn, at I ere i vore Hjerter, saa at vi dø sammen og leve sammen.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying concerning you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
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.
5 For, when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
Thi ogsaa da vi kom til Makedonien, havde vort Kød ingen Ro, men vi trængtes paa alle Maader: Udadtil Kampe, indadtil Angester.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Men han, som trøster de nedbøjede, Gud, han trøstede os ved Titus's Komme;
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
dog ikke alene ved hans Komme, men ogsaa ved den Trøst, hvormed han var bleven trøstet over eder, idet han fortalte os om eders Længsel, eders Graad, eders Nidkærhed for mig, saa at jeg glædede mig end mere.
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it was but for a season.
Thi om jeg end har bedrøvet eder ved Brevet, fortryder jeg det ikke. Om jeg ogsaa har fortrudt det, — jeg ser jo, at hint Brev, ihvorvel kun til en Tid, har bedrøvet eder, —
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might suffer loss through us in nothing.
saa 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 Maade skulde lide Skade af os.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Thi den Bedrøvelse, der er efter Guds Sind, virker Omvendelse til Frelse, som ikke fortrydes; men Verdens Bedrøvelse virker Død.
11 For behold this very same thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging of wrong! In all things ye have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
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! Paa enhver Maade beviste I, at I selv vare rene i den Sag.
12 Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
Altsaa, naar 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 aabenbar hos eder for Guds Aasyn.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: and exceedingly the more we rejoiced for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Derfor ere vi blevne trøstede. Men til vor Trøst kom end yderligere Glæden over Titus's Glæde, fordi hans Aand har faaet Vederkvægelse fra eder alle.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him concerning you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found to be true.
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, saaledes er ogsaa vor Ros for Titus bleven Sandhed.
15 And his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Og hans Hjerte drages inderligere til eder, naar han mindes Lydigheden hos eder alle, hvorledes I modtoge ham med Frygt og Bæven.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
Jeg glæder mig over, at jeg i alt kan lide paa eder.
