2 Korintierne 7
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
7 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.]
2 Gi oss rum! Ingen har vi gjort urett, ingen har vi ødelagt, ingen har vi gått for nær.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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;
6 men Gud, som trøster de nedbøiede, han trøstet oss ved Titus' komme,
7 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.
8 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 -
9 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.
10 For bedrøvelsen efter Guds sinn virker omvendelse til frelse, som ingen angrer; men verdens bedrøvelse virker død.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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,
15 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.
16 Jeg gleder mig over at jeg i alt kan lite på eder.

7 Therefore, since we have these promises,(A) dear friends,(B) let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness(C) out of reverence for God.
Paul’s Joy Over the Church’s Repentance
2 Make room for us in your hearts.(D) We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts(E) that we would live or die with you. 4 I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you.(F) I am greatly encouraged;(G) in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.(H)
5 For when we came into Macedonia,(I) we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn(J)—conflicts on the outside, fears within.(K) 6 But God, who comforts the downcast,(L) comforted us by the coming of Titus,(M) 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter,(N) I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation(O) and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern,(P) what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 12 So even though I wrote to you,(Q) it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong(R) nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. 13 By all this we are encouraged.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus(S) was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. 14 I had boasted to him about you,(T) and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus(U) has proved to be true as well. 15 And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient,(V) receiving him with fear and trembling.(W) 16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.(X)
