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 g166)
Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra huius habitationis dissolvatur, quod ædificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, æternam in cælis. (aiōnios g166)
2 For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen.
Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quæ de cælo est, superindui cupientes:
3 Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
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.
Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati: eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
5 And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.
Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.
6 Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord.
Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino:
7 (For we walke by faith, and not by sight.)
(per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem)
8 Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et præsentes esse ad Dominum.
9 Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him.
Et ideo contendimus sive absentes, sive præsentes placere illi.
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.
Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante Tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
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.
Scientes ergo timorem Domini hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
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.
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 be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.
Sive enim mente excedimus, Deo: sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
14 For that loue of Christ constraineth vs,
Charitas enim Christi urget nos: æstimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt:
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.
et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus: ut, et qui vivunt, iam non sibi vivant, sed ei, qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
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.
Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum: sed nunc iam non novimus.
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.
Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt: ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
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.
Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum: et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis.
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.
Quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
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.
Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
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.
Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur iustitia Dei in ipso.
