Corinthios Ii 5
1 Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra huius habitationis dissolvatur, quod aedificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, aeternam in caelis. (aiōnios g166)
For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quae de caelo est, superindui cupientes:
For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
3 si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati: eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus spiritus.
Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in hoc corpore, peregrinamur a Domino:
Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
7 (per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem)
(for we walk by faith, not by sight; )
8 audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et praesentes esse ad Dominum.
we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
9 Et ideo contendimus sive absentes, sive praesentes placere illi.
Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
10 Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante Tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil.
11 Scientes ergo timorem Domini hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.
12 Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis: ut habeatis ad eos, qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.
[For] we do not again commend ourselves to you, but [we are] giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have [such] with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.
13 Sive enim mente excedimus, Deo: sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
14 Charitas enim Christi urget nos: aestimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt:
For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
15 et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus: ut, et qui vivunt, iam non sibi vivant, sed ei, qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.
16 Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum: sed nunc iam non novimus.
So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know [him thus] no longer.
17 Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt: ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:
18 Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum: et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis.
and all things [are] of the God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
19 quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.
20 Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
21 Eum, qui non noverat peccatum. pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur iustitia Dei in ipso.
Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
