II Corinthians, Chapter 5 Ancient Greek
1. Οἴδαμεν γὰρ
ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ
ἐπίγειος ἡμῶν
οἰκία τοῦ σκήνους
καταλυθῇ,
οἰκοδομὴν ἐκ
Θεοῦ ἔχομεν,
οἰκίαν
ἀχειροποίητον
αἰώνιον ἐν
τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
2. καὶ γὰρ ἐν
τούτῳ
στενάζομεν, τὸ
οἰκητήριον
ἡμῶν τὸ ἐξ
οὐρανοῦ
ἐπενδύσασθαι
ἐπιποθοῦντες,
3. εἴ γε καὶ
ἐνδυσάμενοι
οὐ γυμνοὶ
εὑρεθησόμεθα.
4. καὶ γὰρ οἱ
ὄντες ἐν τῷ
σκήνει
στενάζομεν,
βαρούμενοι ἐφ'
ᾧ οὐ θέλομεν
ἐκδύσασθαι,
ἀλλ'
ἐπενδύσασθαι,
ἵνα καταποθῇ
τὸ θνητὸν ὑπὸ
τῆς ζωῆς.
5. ὁ δὲ
κατεργασάμενος
ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ
τοῦτο Θεός, ὁ καὶ
δοὺς ἡμῖν τὸν
ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ
Πνεύματος.
6. Θαρροῦντες
οὖν πάντοτε
καὶ εἰδότες
ὅτι ἐνδημοῦντες
ἐν τῷ σώματι
ἐκδημοῦμεν
ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου·
7. διὰ πίστεως
γὰρ
περιπατοῦμεν,
οὐ διὰ εἴδους·
8. θαρροῦμεν δὲ
καὶ
εὐδοκοῦμεν
μᾶλλον
ἐκδημῆσαι ἐκ
τοῦ σώματος
καὶ ἐνδημῆσαι
πρὸς τὸν
Κύριον.
9. διὸ καὶ
φιλοτιμούμεθα,
εἴτε
ἐνδημοῦντες
εἴτε
ἐκδημοῦντες,
εὐάρεστοι
αὐτῷ εἶναι.
10. τοὺς γὰρ
πάντας ἡμᾶς
φανερωθῆναι
δεῖ ἔμπροσθεν
τοῦ βήματος
τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
ἵνα κομίσηται
ἕκαστος τὰ διὰ
τοῦ σώματος
πρὸς ἃ ἔπραξεν,
εἴτε ἀγαθὸν εἴτε
κακόν.
11. Εἰδότες οὖν
τὸν φόβον τοῦ
Κυρίου
ἀνθρώπους
πείθομεν, Θεῷ
δὲ
πεφανερώμεθα,
ἐλπίζω δὲ καὶ
ἐν ταῖς
συνειδήσεσιν
ὑμῶν
πεφανερῶσθαι.
12. οὐ γὰρ πάλιν
ἑαυτοὺς
συνιστάνομεν
ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἀφορμὴν
διδόντες ὑμῖν
καυχήματος
ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ἔχητε
πρὸς τοὺς ἐν
προσώπῳ
καυχωμένους
καὶ οὐ καρδίᾳ.
13. εἴτε γὰρ
ἐξέστημεν, Θεῷ,
εἴτε
σωφρονοῦμεν,
ὑμῖν.
14. Ἡ γὰρ ἀγάπη
τοῦ Χριστοῦ
συνέχει ἡμᾶς,
κρίναντας τοῦτο,
ὅτι εἰ εἷς
ὑπὲρ πάντων
ἀπέθανεν, ἄρα
οἱ πάντες
ἀπέθανον·
15. καὶ ὑπὲρ
πάντων
ἀπέθανεν, ἵνα
οἱ ζῶντες
μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς
ζῶσιν, ἀλλὰ τῷ
ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντι
καὶ ἐγερθέντι.
16. Ὥστε ἡμεῖς
ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν
οὐδένα
οἴδαμεν κατὰ
σάρκα· εἰ δὲ καὶ
ἐγνώκαμεν
κατὰ σάρκα
Χριστόν, ἀλλὰ νῦν
οὐκέτι
γινώσκομεν.
17. ὥστε εἴ τις
ἐν Χριστῷ,
καινὴ κτίσις·
τὰ ἀρχαῖα παρῆλθεν,
ἰδοὺ γέγονε
καινὰ τὰ πάντα.
18. τὰ δὲ πάντα
ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ
καταλλάξαντος
ἡμᾶς ἑαυτῷ διὰ
Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
καὶ δόντος
ἡμῖν τὴν
διακονίαν τῆς
καταλλαγῆς,
19. ὡς ὅτι Θεὸς
ἦν ἐν Χριστῷ
κόσμον
καταλλάσσων
ἑαυτῷ, μὴ
λογιζόμενος
αὐτοῖς τὰ
παραπτώματα
αὐτῶν, καὶ
θέμενος ἐν
ἡμῖν τὸν λόγον
τῆς
καταλλαγῆς.
20. Ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ
οὖν
πρεσβεύομεν
ὡς τοῦ Θεοῦ
παρακαλοῦντος
δι' ἡμῶν·
δεόμεθα ὑπὲρ
Χριστοῦ,
καταλλάγητε
τῷ Θεῷ·
21. τὸν γὰρ μὴ
γνόντα
ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ
ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν,
ἵνα ἡμεῖς
γενώμεθα
δικαιοσύνη
Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.
II Corinthians, Chapter 5 (KJV)
1. For
we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2. For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3. If so be that being
clothed we shall not be found naked.
4. For we that are in this
tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed,
but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5. Now he that hath wrought
us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest
of the Spirit.
6. Therefore we are always
confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent
from the Lord:
7. (For we walk by faith,
not by sight:)
8. We are confident, I
say , and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.
9. Wherefore we labour,
that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10. For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things
done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or
bad.
11. Knowing therefore the
terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God;
and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
12. For we commend not
ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf,
that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and
not in heart.
13. For whether we be beside
ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
14. For the love of Christ
constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then
were all dead:
15. And that he died for
all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but
unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16. Wherefore henceforth
know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after
the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17. Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new.
18. And all things are
of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given
to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. To wit, that God was
in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20. Now then we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's
stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21. For he hath made him
to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him.
