< 2 Corinthians 5 >
1 to know for that/since: that if the/this/who earthly me home the/this/who tent to destroy/lodge building out from God to have/be home not man-made eternal in/on/among the/this/who heaven (aiōnios )
For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. (aiōnios )
2 and for in/on/among this/he/she/it to groan the/this/who dwelling me the/this/who out from heaven be clothed to long for
For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--
3 (if indeed *NK(o)*) and (to strip *N(K)O*) no naked to find/meet
if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.
4 and for the/this/who to be in/on/among the/this/who tent to groan to burden (upon/to/against *N(k)O*) which no to will/desire to strip but be clothed in order that/to to swallow the/this/who mortal by/under: by the/this/who life
Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.
5 the/this/who then to workout/produce me toward it/s/he this/he/she/it God the/this/who (and *k*) to give me the/this/who guarantee the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit
And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.
6 be confident therefore/then always and to know that/since: that be home in/on/among the/this/who body be away away from the/this/who lord: God
We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;
7 through/because of faith for to walk no through/because of appearance
for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.
8 be confident then and to delight more: rather be away out from the/this/who body and be home to/with the/this/who lord: God
So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.
9 therefore and to aspire whether be home whether be away well-pleasing it/s/he to exist
And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
10 the/this/who for all me to reveal be necessary before the/this/who judgement seat the/this/who Christ in order that/to to bring/be repaid each the/this/who through/because of the/this/who body to/with which to do/require whether good whether (evil *N(k)O*)
For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.
11 to know therefore/then the/this/who fear the/this/who lord: God a human to persuade God then to reveal to hope/expect then and in/on/among the/this/who conscience you to reveal
Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.
12 no (for *k*) again themself to commend you but opportunity to give you pride above/for me in order that/to to have/be to/with the/this/who in/on/among face to boast and (not *N(k)O*) (in/on/among *no*) heart
We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
13 whether for to amaze God whether be of sound mind you
For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.
14 the/this/who for love the/this/who Christ to hold/oppress me to judge this/he/she/it that/since: that (if *k*) one above/for all to die therefore the/this/who all to die
For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,
15 and above/for all to die in order that/to the/this/who to live never again themself to live but the/this/who above/for it/s/he to die and to arise
and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.
16 so me away from the/this/who now none to know according to flesh if: even though (then *k*) and to know according to flesh Christ but now no still to know
Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
17 so if one in/on/among Christ new creation the/this/who ancient to pass by look! to be new (the/this/who all *K*)
So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
18 the/this/who then all out from the/this/who God the/this/who to reconcile me themself through/because of (Jesus *K*) Christ and to give me the/this/who service the/this/who reconciliation
And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in the ministry of reconciliation.
19 as/when that/since: since God to be in/on/among Christ world to reconcile themself not to count it/s/he the/this/who trespass it/s/he and to place in/on/among me the/this/who word the/this/who reconciliation
We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.
20 above/for Christ therefore/then be ambassador as/when the/this/who God to plead/comfort through/because of me to pray above/for Christ to reconcile the/this/who God
On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.
21 the/this/who (for *k*) not to know sin above/for me sin to do/make: do in order that/to me (to be *N(k)O*) righteousness God in/on/among it/s/he
He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
