2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our earthly house, which is but a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
aparam asmākam etasmin pārthive dūṣyarūpe veśmani jīrṇe satīśvareṇa nirmmitam akarakṛtam asmākam anantakālasthāyi veśmaikaṁ svarge vidyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house that is from heaven,
yato hetoretasmin veśmani tiṣṭhanto vayaṁ taṁ svargīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum ākāṅkṣyamāṇā niḥśvasāmaḥ|
3 since, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.
tathāpīdānīmapi vayaṁ tena na nagnāḥ kintu parihitavasanā manyāmahe|
4 For we who are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, not because we wish to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhanato vayaṁ kliśyamānā niḥśvasāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ vāsaṁ tyaktum icchāmastannahi kintu taṁ dvitīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum icchāmaḥ, yatastathā kṛte jīvanena martyaṁ grasiṣyate|
5 Now, he that has formed us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the earnest of the Spirit.
etadarthaṁ vayaṁ yena sṛṣṭāḥ sa īśvara eva sa cāsmabhyaṁ satyaṅkārasya paṇasvarūpam ātmānaṁ dattavān|
6 Therefore, we are always confident, especially since we know that, while living in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
ataeva vayaṁ sarvvadotsukā bhavāmaḥ kiñca śarīre yāvad asmābhi rnyuṣyate tāvat prabhuto dūre proṣyata iti jānīmaḥ,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight:
yato vayaṁ dṛṣṭimārge na carāmaḥ kintu viśvāsamārge|
8 we are confident, indeed, and would be pleased rather to depart from the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
aparañca śarīrād dūre pravastuṁ prabhoḥ sannidhau nivastuñcākāṅkṣyamāṇā utsukā bhavāmaḥ|
9 For this reason we also endeavor, whether we remain in the body or depart from it, to be acceptable to him.
tasmādeva kāraṇād vayaṁ tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmād dūre pravasanto vā tasmai rocituṁ yatāmahe|
10 For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each may receive his reward for the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether good or evil.
yasmāt śarīrāvasthāyām ekaikena kṛtānāṁ karmmaṇāṁ śubhāśubhaphalaprāptaye sarvvaismābhiḥ khrīṣṭasya vicārāsanasammukha upasthātavyaṁ|
11 Knowing, then, the fearful judgment of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God. I hope, indeed, that we are also made manifest in your consciences.
ataeva prabho rbhayānakatvaṁ vijñāya vayaṁ manujān anunayāmaḥ kiñceśvarasya gocare saprakāśā bhavāmaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ saṁvedagocare'pi saprakāśā bhavāma ityāśaṁsāmahe|
12 We do not again commend ourselves to you, but give you an occasion to boast of us, that you may be able to answer those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.
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|
13 For if we be beside ourselves, it is for God; or, if we be of sound mind, it is for you.
yadi vayaṁ hatajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad īśvarārthakaṁ yadi ca sajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad yuṣmadarthakaṁ|
14 For the love of Christ constrains us, because we have this judgment―that if one died for all, then have all died:
vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya premnā samākṛṣyāmahe yataḥ sarvveṣāṁ vinimayena yadyeko jano'mriyata tarhi te sarvve mṛtā ityāsmābhi rbudhyate|
15 and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for themselves, but for him who died for them, and rose again.
aparañca ye jīvanti te yat svārthaṁ na jīvanti kintu teṣāṁ kṛte yo jano mṛtaḥ punarutthāpitaśca tamuddiśya yat jīvanti tadarthameva sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtavān|
16 So, then, we henceforth know no man according to the flesh; if, indeed, we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer thus know him.
ato hetoritaḥ paraṁ ko'pyasmābhi rjātito na pratijñātavyaḥ|yadyapi pūrvvaṁ khrīṣṭo jātito'smābhiḥ pratijñātastathāpīdānīṁ jātitaḥ puna rna pratijñāyate|
17 So, then, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
kenacit khrīṣṭa āśrite nūtanā sṛṣṭi rbhavati purātanāni lupyante paśya nikhilāni navīnāni bhavanti|
18 And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
sarvvañcaitad īśvarasya karmma yato yīśukhrīṣṭena sa evāsmān svena sārddhaṁ saṁhitavān sandhānasambandhīyāṁ paricaryyām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
19 that is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging their offenses to them, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
yataḥ īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭam adhiṣṭhāya jagato janānām āgāṁsi teṣām ṛṇamiva na gaṇayan svena sārddhaṁ tān saṁhitavān sandhivārttām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
20 Therefore, we act as ambassadors for Christ, as though God entreated through us; we beseech in Christ’s stead, be reconciled to God:
ato vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena dautyaṁ karmma sampādayāmahe, īśvaraścāsmābhi ryuṣmān yāyācyate tataḥ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahe yūyamīśvareṇa sandhatta|
21 for he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
yato vayaṁ tena yad īśvarīyapuṇyaṁ bhavāmastadarthaṁ pāpena saha yasya jñāteyaṁ nāsīt sa eva tenāsmākaṁ vinimayena pāpaḥ kṛtaḥ|
