2 Coríntios 7 - Bíblia Online

Eftersom vi da har disse løfter, mine elskede, så la oss rense oss fra all urenhet på kjød og ånd og fullende vår helliggjørelse i Guds frykt! / [2KO 7, 1 er i trykte bøker plassert på slutten av kapittel 6.] 
Gi oss rum! Ingen har vi gjort urett, ingen har vi ødelagt, ingen har vi gått for nær. 
Dette sier jeg ikke for å fordømme eder; jeg har jo før sagt at I er i våre hjerter for å dø med oss og leve med oss. 
Jeg har stor tiltro til eder; jeg roser mig storlig av eder; jeg er full av trøst, jeg er overvettes rik på glede under all vår trengsel. 
For heller ikke da vi kom til Makedonia, hadde vårt kjød nogen ro, men vi trengtes på alle måter: utenfor oss var strid, inneni oss frykt; 
men Gud, som trøster de nedbøiede, han trøstet oss ved Titus' komme, 
dog ikke bare ved hans komme, men og ved den trøst hvormed han var blitt trøstet over eder, idet han meldte oss eders lengsel, eders klage, eders nidkjærhet for mig, så at jeg blev ennu gladere. 
For om jeg enn bedrøvet eder ved mitt brev, så angrer jeg det ikke; om jeg enn før angret det - jeg ser jo at hint brev bedrøvet eder, om enn bare for en stund - 
så gleder jeg mig nu, ikke over at I blev bedrøvet, men over at I blev bedrøvet til omvendelse; for I blev bedrøvet efter Guds sinn, forat I ikke skulde lide nogen skade ved oss. 
For bedrøvelsen efter Guds sinn virker omvendelse til frelse, som ingen angrer; men verdens bedrøvelse virker død. 
For se, just dette at I blev bedrøvet efter Guds sinn, hvilken iver det virket hos eder, ja forsvar, ja harme, ja frykt, ja lengsel, ja nidkjærhet, ja straff! I alt viste I eder å være rene i den sak. 
Derfor, om jeg enn skrev til eder, så var det ikke for hans skyld som gjorde uretten, heller ikke for hans skyld som uretten blev gjort imot, men forat eders iver for oss kunde bli åpenbaret hos eder for Guds åsyn. 
Derfor er vi blitt trøstet. Og til vår trøst kom ennu den langt større glede over Titus' glede; for hans ånd er blitt vederkveget av eder alle. 
For om jeg til ham har uttalt nogen ros over eder, så er jeg ikke blitt til skamme; men likesom vi i alt har talt sannhet til eder, så er og vår ros for Titus blitt sannhet, 
og hans kjærlighet til eder er enn sterkere når han kommer eders alles lydighet i hu, hvorledes I tok imot ham med frykt og beven. 
Jeg gleder mig over at jeg i alt kan lite på eder. 

Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God. 
Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man, 
It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together. 
My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles. 
For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside. 
But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus; 
And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad. 
For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time. 
Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything. 
For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death. 
For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business. 
So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God. 
So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all. 
For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true. 
And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour. 
It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way.
