< 2 Corinthians 5 >
1 For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. (aiōnios )
οιδαμεν γαρ οτι εαν η επιγειοσ ημων οικια του σκηνουσ καταλυθη οικοδομην εκ θεου εχομεν οικιαν αχειροποιητον αιωνιον εν τοισ ουρανοισ (aiōnios )
2 For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen.
και γαρ εν τουτω στεναζομεν το οικητηριον ημων το εξ ουρανου επενδυσασθαι επιποθουντεσ
3 Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
ειγε και ενδυσαμενοι ου γυμνοι ευρεθησομεθα
4 For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life.
και γαρ οι οντεσ εν τω σκηνει στεναζομεν βαρουμενοι εφ ω ου θελομεν εκδυσασθαι αλλ επενδυσασθαι ινα καταποθη το θνητον υπο τησ ζωησ
5 And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.
ο δε κατεργασαμενοσ ημασ εισ αυτο τουτο θεοσ ο και δουσ ημιν τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ
6 Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord.
θαρρουντεσ ουν παντοτε και ειδοτεσ οτι ενδημουντεσ εν τω σωματι εκδημουμεν απο του κυριου
7 (For we walke by faith, and not by sight.)
δια πιστεωσ γαρ περιπατουμεν ου δια ειδουσ
8 Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
θαρρουμεν δε και ευδοκουμεν μαλλον εκδημησαι εκ του σωματοσ και ενδημησαι προσ τον κυριον
9 Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him.
διο και φιλοτιμουμεθα ειτε ενδημουντεσ ειτε εκδημουντεσ ευαρεστοι αυτω ειναι
10 For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill.
τουσ γαρ παντασ ημασ φανερωθηναι δει εμπροσθεν του βηματοσ του χριστου ινα κομισηται εκαστοσ τα δια του σωματοσ προσ α επραξεν ειτε αγαθον ειτε κακον
11 Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
ειδοτεσ ουν τον φοβον του κυριου ανθρωπουσ πειθομεν θεω δε πεφανερωμεθα ελπιζω δε και εν ταισ συνειδησεσιν υμων πεφανερωσθαι
12 For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart.
ου γαρ παλιν εαυτουσ συνιστανομεν υμιν αλλα αφορμην διδοντεσ υμιν καυχηματοσ υπερ ημων ινα εχητε προσ τουσ εν προσωπω καυχωμενουσ και ου καρδια
13 For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.
ειτε γαρ εξεστημεν θεω ειτε σωφρονουμεν υμιν
14 For that loue of Christ constraineth vs,
η γαρ αγαπη του χριστου συνεχει ημασ κριναντασ τουτο οτι ει εισ υπερ παντων απεθανεν αρα οι παντεσ απεθανον
15 Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.
και υπερ παντων απεθανεν ινα οι ζωντεσ μηκετι εαυτοισ ζωσιν αλλα τω υπερ αυτων αποθανοντι και εγερθεντι
16 Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more.
ωστε ημεισ απο του νυν ουδενα οιδαμεν κατα σαρκα ει δε και εγνωκαμεν κατα σαρκα χριστον αλλα νυν ουκετι γινωσκομεν
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe.
ωστε ει τισ εν χριστω καινη κτισισ τα αρχαια παρηλθεν ιδου γεγονεν καινα τα παντα
18 And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation.
τα δε παντα εκ του θεου του καταλλαξαντοσ ημασ εαυτω δια ιησου χριστου και δοντοσ ημιν την διακονιαν τησ καταλλαγησ
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation.
ωσ οτι θεοσ ην εν χριστω κοσμον καταλλασσων εαυτω μη λογιζομενοσ αυτοισ τα παραπτωματα αυτων και θεμενοσ εν ημιν τον λογον τησ καταλλαγησ
20 Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God.
υπερ χριστου ουν πρεσβευομεν ωσ του θεου παρακαλουντοσ δι ημων δεομεθα υπερ χριστου καταλλαγητε τω θεω
21 For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him.
τον γαρ μη γνοντα αμαρτιαν υπερ ημων αμαρτιαν εποιησεν ινα ημεισ γενωμεθα δικαιοσυνη θεου εν αυτω
