< 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 )
2 And indeed in this we groan, the dwelling of us which [is] from heaven to be clothed with longing;
3 (If even *NK+o) even (having put off *N+KO) not naked we will be found.
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.
5 The [One] now having prepared us for very this [is] God, (and *k) having given to us the pledge of the Spirit.
6 being confident therefore always and knowing that being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 through faith for we walk, not through 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.
9 Therefore also we are ambitious, whether being at home or being away, well-pleasing to Him to be;
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)
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.
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.
13 If for we are crazy, [it is] for God; or if we are sober-minded [it is] for you.
14 The for love of Christ compels us having concluded this, that (if *k) One for all has died; therefore all have 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.
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].
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)
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,
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.
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.
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.
