\subsection{II Corinthians 5}
|
|
\VS{1} For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tent be destroyed, we have [a]
|
|
building from God, [an] eternal house not made with hands in the heavens.
|
|
\VS{2} For in this we also groan, longing to put on our dwelling from heaven,
|
|
\VS{3} if indeed, being clothed, we not be found naked.
|
|
\VS{4} For we being
|
|
in [this] tent do groan, being weighed down, not that we want to be unclothed, but
|
|
clothed, in order that the death-like be swallowed up by zoe-life\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{5} Now the [one] having wrought us for this same [this is] God,
|
|
the [one] having given to us the down-payment of the spirit.
|
|
\VS{6} Always being courageous therefore, and
|
|
knowing that being home in the body we are absent from the Lord ---
|
|
\VS{7} for through faith we walk, not through visible-form ---
|
|
\VS{8} we are confident and
|
|
resolve rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
|
|
\VS{9} Therefore we aspire, whether being home or being absent, to be pleasing to him.
|
|
\VS{10} For we all must be manifest before the judgment seat of Christ,
|
|
in order that each receive the [things] toward which he practiced through his body,
|
|
whether good or worthless.
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but to God
|
|
we are manifest, and I hope to be manifest in your consciences.
|
|
\VS{12} We
|
|
do not again recommend ourselves to you, but giving to you pretext of
|
|
boasting concerning us, in order that you have [answer] to those boasting in
|
|
appearance, and not in heart.
|
|
\VS{13} For whether we are senseless, [it is] to God,
|
|
whether we are of sound mind, [it is] to you.
|
|
\VS{14} For the agape-love of Christ
|
|
impels us, having judged this [thing], that one [man] died in behalf of all; therefore all died.
|
|
\VS{15} And he died in behalf of all in order that those zoe-living\fnZoe{} no
|
|
longer zoe-live\fnZoe{} to themselves but to the [one] having died and having been raised in their behalf.
|
|
\VS{16} So we from now on know nothing according to the flesh;
|
|
and if we have known Christ according to the flesh, now we no longer know
|
|
[him thus].
|
|
\VS{17} So if anyone [is] in Christ, [He is a] new creation; the old has passed away,
|
|
behold everything is become new.
|
|
\VS{18} So everything [is] from the God having
|
|
reconciled us to himself through Christ and having given to us the service
|
|
of the reconciliation,
|
|
\VS{19} how God was in Christ reconciling [the] world to
|
|
himself, not reckoning to them their transgressions, and having placed in us
|
|
the word of reconciliation.
|
|
\VS{20} In behalf of Christ therefore we act as
|
|
ambassadors, as though God [is] exhorting through us; we ask in Christ's behalf,
|
|
be reconciled to God.
|
|
\VS{21} He made him sin in our behalf, [he] who knew not
|
|
sin, in order that we become [the] justness of God in him.
