2 Corinthians 5

1 We know for that if the earthly of us house the tent shall be destroyed, a building from God we have, a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

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

2 And indeed in this we groan, the dwelling of us which [is] from heaven to be clothed with longing;

For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:

3 (If even *NK+o) even (having put off *N+KO) not naked we will be found.

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

4 And for those being in the tent we groan being burdened, (because *N+kO) that not we do wish to be unclothed but to be clothed, that may be swallowed up the mortal by life.

For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.

5 The [One] now having prepared us for very this [is] God, (and *k) having given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 being confident therefore always and knowing that being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord

7 through faith for we walk, not through sight,

(for we walk by faith, not by sight);

8 We are confident now and we are pleased rather to be absent out of the body and to be at home with the Lord.

we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

9 Therefore also we are ambitious, whether being at home or being away, well-pleasing to Him to be;

Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.

10 For all of us to be revealed it behooves before the judgment seat of Christ, that may receive back each the [things done] in the body according to what he did, whether good or (evil. *N+kO)

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord men we persuade to God and we have been made manifest; I hope now also in the consciences of you to have been made manifest.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

12 Not (for *k) again ourselves are we commending to you, but occasion are giving to you of boasting on behalf of us, so that you may have [an answer] toward those in appearance boasting and (not *N+kO) (in *no) [the] heart.

We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart.

13 If for we are crazy, [it is] for God; or if we are sober-minded [it is] for you.

For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.

14 The for love of Christ compels us having concluded this, that (if *k) One for all has died; therefore all have died.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

15 And for all He died, that those living no longer to themselves may live but to the [One] for them having died and having been raised again.

and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

16 Therefore we ourselves from now no [one] know according to [the] flesh; If (now *k) even we have regarded according to flesh Christ, yet now no longer no longer we regard [Him thus].

Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.

17 Therefore if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; The old things have passed away, behold has come into being new (all things. *K)

Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

18 And all things [are] of God the [One who] having reconciled us to Himself through (Jesus *K) Christ and having given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 how for God was in Christ [the] world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them the trespasses of them, and having put into us the word of reconciliation.

to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, as though God is beseeching through us; We implore on behalf of Christ: do be reconciled to God.

We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

21 The [One] (for *k) not having known sin for us sin He made, so that we ourselves (may become *N+kO) [the] righteousness of God in Him.

Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
