格林多后书 5

1For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

2For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.

3Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.

4For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.

6Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.

7(For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)

8But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.

10For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.

11Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.

12We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.

13For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.

14For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.

15And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.

16Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer.

17If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.

18But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

19For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.

20For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.

21Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.

1Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra hujus habitationis dissolvatur, quod ædificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, æternam in cælis.

2Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quæ de cælo est, superindui cupientes:

3si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.

4Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati: eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.

5Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.

6Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino

7(per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem):

8audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et præsentes esse ad Dominum.

9Et ideo contendimus, sive absentes, sive præsentes, placere illi.

10Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.

11Scientes ergo timorem Domini, hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.

12Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis: ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.

13Sive enim mente excedimus Deo: sive sobrii sumus, vobis.

14Caritas enim Christi urget nos: æstimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt:

15et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus: ut, et qui vivunt, jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.

16Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum, sed nunc jam non novimus.

17Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt: ecce facta sunt omnia nova.

18Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum: et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis,

19quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.

20Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.

21Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur justitia Dei in ipso.

1For we know that, when our earthly house of this habitation is dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

2And for this reason also, we groan, desiring to be clothed from above with our habitation from heaven.

3If we are so clothed, then we will not be found to be naked.

4Then too, we who are in this tabernacle groan under the burden, because we do not want to be stripped, but rather to be clothed from above, so that what is mortal may be absorbed by life.

5Now the One who accomplishes this very thing in us is God, who has given us the pledge of the Spirit.

6Therefore, we are ever confident, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are on a pilgrimage in the Lord.

7For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight.

8So we are confident, and we have the good will to be on a pilgrimage in the body, so as to be present to the Lord.

9And thus we struggle, whether absent or present, to please him.

10For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.

11Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences.

12We are not commending ourselves again to you, but rather we are presenting you with an opportunity to glory because of us, when you deal with those who glory in face, and not in heart.

13For if we are excessive in mind, it is for God; but if we are sober, it is for you.

14For the charity of Christ urges us on, in consideration of this: that if one died for all, then all have died.

15And Christ died for all, so that even those who live might not now live for themselves, but for him who died for them and who rose again.

16And so, from now on, we know no one according to the flesh. And though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer.

17So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new.

18But all is of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

19For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging them with their sins. And he has placed in us the Word of reconciliation.

20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God.

21For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
