< 2 Corinthians 5 >
1 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 )
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 For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
And indeed in this we groan, the dwelling of us which [is] from heaven to be clothed with longing;
3 if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
(If even *NK(o)*) even (having put off *N(K)O*) not naked we will be found.
4 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.
And for those being in the tent we groan being burdened, (because *N(k)O*) that not we do wish to be unclothed but to be clothed, that may be swallowed up the mortal by life.
5 Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
The [One] now having prepared us for very this [is] God, (and *k*) having given to us the pledge of the Spirit.
6 Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
being confident therefore always and knowing that being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight; )
through faith for we walk, not through sight,
8 we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
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 Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
Therefore also we are ambitious, whether being at home or being away, well-pleasing to Him to be;
10 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.
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(k)O*)
11 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.
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 [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.
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(k)O*) (in *no*) [the] heart.
13 For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
If for we are crazy, [it is] for God; or if we are sober-minded [it is] for you.
14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
The for love of Christ compels us having concluded this, that (if *k*) One for all has died; therefore all have died.
15 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.
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 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.
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 So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:
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 the God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
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 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.
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 We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
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 Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
The [One] (for *k*) not having known sin for us sin He made, so that we ourselves (may become *N(k)O*) [the] righteousness of God in Him.
