2 karinthinaḥ 5

1 aparam asmākam etasmin pārthive dūṣyarūpe veśmani jīrṇe satīśvareṇa nirmmitam akarakṛtam asmākam anantakālasthāyi veśmaikaṁ svarge vidyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 yato hetoretasmin veśmani tiṣṭhanto vayaṁ taṁ svargīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum ākāṅkṣyamāṇā niḥśvasāmaḥ|

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven:

3 tathāpīdānīmapi vayaṁ tena na nagnāḥ kintu parihitavasanā manyāmahe|

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhanato vayaṁ kliśyamānā niḥśvasāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ vāsaṁ tyaktum icchāmastannahi kintu taṁ dvitīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum icchāmaḥ, yatastathā kṛte jīvanena martyaṁ grasiṣyate|

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5 etadarthaṁ vayaṁ yena sṛṣṭāḥ sa īśvara eva sa cāsmabhyaṁ satyaṅkārasya paṇasvarūpam ātmānaṁ dattavān|

Now he that has worked us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 ataeva vayaṁ sarvvadotsukā bhavāmaḥ kiñca śarīre yāvad asmābhi rnyuṣyate tāvat prabhuto dūre proṣyata iti jānīmaḥ,

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 yato vayaṁ dṛṣṭimārge na carāmaḥ kintu viśvāsamārge|

(For we walk by faith, not by sight: )

8 aparañca śarīrād dūre pravastuṁ prabhoḥ sannidhau nivastuñcākāṅkṣyamāṇā utsukā bhavāmaḥ|

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 tasmādeva kāraṇād vayaṁ tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmād dūre pravasanto vā tasmai rocituṁ yatāmahe|

Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

10 yasmāt śarīrāvasthāyām ekaikena kṛtānāṁ karmmaṇāṁ śubhāśubhaphalaprāptaye sarvvaismābhiḥ khrīṣṭasya vicārāsanasammukha upasthātavyaṁ|

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.

11 ataeva prabho rbhayānakatvaṁ vijñāya vayaṁ manujān anunayāmaḥ kiñceśvarasya gocare saprakāśā bhavāmaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ saṁvedagocare'pi saprakāśā bhavāma ityāśaṁsāmahe|

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

12 anena vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau punaḥ svān praśaṁsāma iti nahi kintu ye mano vinā mukhaiḥ ślāghante tebhyaḥ pratyuttaradānāya yūyaṁ yathāsmābhiḥ ślāghituṁ śaknutha tādṛśam upāyaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ vitarāmaḥ|

For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

13 yadi vayaṁ hatajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad īśvarārthakaṁ yadi ca sajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad yuṣmadarthakaṁ|

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14 vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya premnā samākṛṣyāmahe yataḥ sarvveṣāṁ vinimayena yadyeko jano'mriyata tarhi te sarvve mṛtā ityāsmābhi rbudhyate|

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 aparañca ye jīvanti te yat svārthaṁ na jīvanti kintu teṣāṁ kṛte yo jano mṛtaḥ punarutthāpitaśca tamuddiśya yat jīvanti tadarthameva sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtavān|

And that he died for all, that they which live should not from now on live to themselves, but to him which died for them, and rose again.

16 ato hetoritaḥ paraṁ ko'pyasmābhi rjātito na pratijñātavyaḥ|yadyapi pūrvvaṁ khrīṣṭo jātito'smābhiḥ pratijñātastathāpīdānīṁ jātitaḥ puna rna pratijñāyate|

Why from now on know we no man after the flesh: yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now from now on know we him no more.

17 kenacit khrīṣṭa āśrite nūtanā sṛṣṭi rbhavati purātanāni lupyante paśya nikhilāni navīnāni bhavanti|

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 sarvvañcaitad īśvarasya karmma yato yīśukhrīṣṭena sa evāsmān svena sārddhaṁ saṁhitavān sandhānasambandhīyāṁ paricaryyām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 yataḥ īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭam adhiṣṭhāya jagato janānām āgāṁsi teṣām ṛṇamiva na gaṇayan svena sārddhaṁ tān saṁhitavān sandhivārttām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 ato vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena dautyaṁ karmma sampādayāmahe, īśvaraścāsmābhi ryuṣmān yāyācyate tataḥ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahe yūyamīśvareṇa sandhatta|

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled to God.

21 yato vayaṁ tena yad īśvarīyapuṇyaṁ bhavāmastadarthaṁ pāpena saha yasya jñāteyaṁ nāsīt sa eva tenāsmākaṁ vinimayena pāpaḥ kṛtaḥ|

For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
