II Corinthians 7

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! så lader os rense os selv fra al Kødets og Åndens Besmittelse, så vi gennemføre Hellighed i Guds Frygt!

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.

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, så at vi dø sammen og leve sammen.

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of 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.

For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

Thi også da vi kom til Makedonien, havde vort Kød ingen Ro, men vi trængtes på alle Måder: udadtil Kampe, indadtil Angster.

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;

And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith 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 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.

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 were but for a season.

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, -

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 receive damage by us in nothing.

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.

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.

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved 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! På enhver Måde beviste I, at I selv vare rene i den Sag.

Wherefore, though I wrote unto 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 unto you.

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.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we 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 Ånd har fået Vederkvægelse fra eder alle.

For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

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.

And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

Og hans Hjerte drages inderligere til eder, når han mindes Lydigheden hos eder alle,hvorledes I modtoge ham med Frygt og Bæven.

I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

Jeg glæder mig over, at jeg i alt kan lide på eder.
