Corinthios Ii 5
1 Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra hujus habitationis dissolvatur, quod ædificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, æternam in cælis. (aiōnios g166)
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)
2 Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quæ de cælo est, superindui cupientes:
For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
3 si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
4 Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati: eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
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.
5 Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino
Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 (per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem):
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et præsentes esse ad Dominum.
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.
9 Et ideo contendimus, sive absentes, sive præsentes, placere illi.
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
10 Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
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.
11 Scientes ergo timorem Domini, hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
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.
12 Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis: ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.
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.
13 Sive enim mente excedimus Deo: sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
14 Caritas enim Christi urget nos: æstimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt:
For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
15 et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus: ut, et qui vivunt, jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
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.
16 Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum, sed nunc jam non novimus.
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.
17 Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt: ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
18 Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum: et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis,
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus (the) Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
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.
20 Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
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.
21 Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur justitia Dei in ipso.
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.
