2 Corinthians 5

1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

For also in this we groan, longing to clothe ourselves with our habitation from heaven,

3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.

if indeed also having put it on we will not be found naked.

4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Ruach.

Now he who wrought us for this same thing is God, who also gave us the pledge of the Spirit.

6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

Therefore always being confident, and knowing that while at home in the body we are absent from the Lord,

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

And we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be at home near the Lord.

9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

Therefore also we aspire, whether at home or away from home, to be well-pleasing to him.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of the Christ, so that each man may receive back about the things that he did through the body, whether good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

Having seen therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. But we have been manifested to God, and I hope also to have been manifested in your consciences.

12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

For we are not commending ourselves again to you, but giving you an opportunity of boasting about us, so that ye may have for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.

For whether we are beside ourselves to God, or we are of normal mind, it is for you.

14 For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

For the love of Christ holds us together, having judge this, that if one died for all, then all died.

15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

And he died for all so that those who live would no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and was raised.

16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.

So that henceforth we know no man according to flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him no longer.

17 Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.

So then if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.

18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Yeshua the Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

And all things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and who gave to us the ministry of reconciliation.

19 namely, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

How that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.

We are therefore, ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were calling through us. We plead on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
