2 Coríntios 5

1 For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.2 For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which {is} from heaven;3 if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.4 For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that {what is} mortal may be swallowed up by life.5 Now he that has wrought us for this very thing {is} God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.6 Therefore {we are} always confident, and know that while present 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 pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.9 Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.10 For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things {done} in the body, according to those he has done, whether {it be} good or evil.11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.12 {For} we do not again commend ourselves to you, but {we are} giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have {such} with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.13 For whether we are beside ourselves, {it is} to God; or are sober, {it is} for you.14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;15 and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.16 So that *we* henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know {him thus} no longer.17 So if any one {be} in Christ, {there is} a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:18 and all things {are} of the God who has reconciled us to himself by {Jesus} Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:19 how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.20 We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as {it were} beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.21 Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God's righteousness in him.

1 Want ons weet dat as ons aardse tentwoning afgebreek word, ons 'n gebou het van God, 'n huis nie met hande gemaak nie, ewig, in die hemele.2 Want om hierdie rede sug ons ook en verlang om met ons woning uit die hemel oorklee te word,3 as ons ten minste gekleed en nie naak bevind sal word nie.4 Want ons wat nog in die tent is, sug en voel beswaard, omdat ons liewer nie ontklee nie, maar oorklee wil word, sodat die sterflike deur die lewe verslind kan word.5 Maar Hy wat ons juis hiervoor toeberei het, is God, wat ons ook die Gees as onderpand gegee het.6 Daarom het ons altyd goeie moed en weet dat as ons in die liggaam inwoon, ons van die Here uitwoon.7 Want ons wandel deur geloof en nie deur aanskouing nie.8 Maar ons het goeie moed en verkies om liewer uit die liggaam uit te woon en by die Here in te woon.9 Daarom lê ons ons ook ywerig daarop toe, of ons inwoon of uitwoon, om Hom welbehaaglik te wees.10 Want ons moet almal voor die regterstoel van Christus verskyn, sodat elkeen kan ontvang wat hy deur die liggaam verrig het, volgens wat hy gedoen het, of dit goed is of kwaad.11 Omdat ons dan die vrees van die Here ken, probeer ons om die mense te oortuig; maar voor God is ons openbaar, en ek hoop om ook in julle gewetens openbaar te wees.12 Want ons beveel ons nie weer by julle aan nie, maar ons gee julle aanleiding tot roem oor ons, sodat julle iets kan hê teenoor die wat hulle op die uiterlike beroem en nie op die hart nie.13 Want as ons uitsinnig is, is dit tot eer van God; en as ons by ons verstand is, is dit om julle ontwil.14 Want die liefde van Christus dring ons,15 omdat ons van oordeel is, dat as een vir almal gesterf het, hulle dan almal gesterf het; en Hy het vir almal gesterwe, sodat die wat lewe, nie meer vir hulself moet lewe nie, maar vir Hom wat vir hulle gesterf het en opgewek is.16 Ons ken dus van nou af niemand meer na die vlees nie; en al het ons ook Christus na die vlees geken, nou ken ons Hom tog nie meer so nie.17 Daarom, as iemand in Christus is, is hy 'n nuwe skepsel; die ou dinge het verbygegaan, kyk, dit het alles nuut geword.18 En dit alles is uit God wat ons met Homself versoen het deur Jesus Christus en ons die bediening van die versoening gegee het,19 naamlik dat God in Christus die wêreld met Homself versoen het deur hulle hul misdade nie toe te reken nie en die woord van die versoening aan ons toe te vertrou.20 Ons tree dan op as gesante om Christus wil, asof God deur ons vermaan. Ons bid julle om Christus wil: Laat julle met God versoen.21 Want Hy het Hom wat geen sonde geken het nie, sonde vir ons gemaak, sodat ons kan word geregtigheid van God in Hom.
