2 Corinthians 10:7

Pride

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.

8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.

You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.

You⁺ are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone has been persuaded in himself to be of Christ, let him reckon this upon himself again, that as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.

Dere ser bare på det utvendige! Om noen vet med seg selv at han hører Kristus til, la han erkjenne igjen for seg selv at slik som han hører Kristus til, så gjør også vi det.

Dere gjør vurderinger basert på utseende. Hvis noen er sikre på at de tilhører Kristus, bør de revurdere at vi tilhører Kristus like mye som de gjør.

I ser bare på det utvortes! Om nogen er viss med sig selv at han hører Kristus til, han dømme atter hos sig selv at likesom han hører Kristus til, således og vi.
