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 g166)
Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra hujus habitationis dissolvatur, quod ædificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, æternam in cælis. (aiōnios g166)
2 For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quæ de cælo est, superindui cupientes:
3 if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
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.
Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati: eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
5 Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.
6 Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight; )
(per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem):
8 we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et præsentes esse ad Dominum.
9 Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
Et ideo contendimus, sive absentes, sive præsentes, placere illi.
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.
Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
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.
Scientes ergo timorem Domini, hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
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.
Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis: ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.
13 For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
Sive enim mente excedimus Deo: sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
Caritas enim Christi urget nos: æstimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt:
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.
et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus: ut, et qui vivunt, jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
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.
Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum, sed nunc jam non novimus.
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:
Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt: ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
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:
Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum: et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis,
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.
quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
20 We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
21 Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur justitia Dei in ipso.
