Второе послание к Коринфянам 5

1 Вемы бо, яко аще земная наша храмина тела разорится, создание от Бога имамы, храмину нерукотворену, вечну на небесех.2 Ибо о сем воздыхаем, в жилище наше небесное облещися желающе:3 аще точию и облекшеся, не нази обрящемся.4 Ибо сущии в теле сем воздыхаем отягчаеми, понеже не хощем совлещися, но пооблещися, да пожерто будет мертвенное животом.5 Сотворивый же нас в сие истое Бог, иже и даде нам обручение духа.6 Дерзающе убо всегда и ведяще, яко живуще в теле отходим от Господа:7 верою бо ходим, а не видением:8 дерзаем же и благоволим паче отити от тела и внити ко Господу:9 темже и тщимся, аще входяще, аще отходяще, благоугодни ему быти:10 всем бо явитися нам подобает пред судищем Христовым, да приимет кийждо, яже с телом содела, или блага, или зла.11 Ведуще убо страх Господень, человеки увещаваем, Богови же явлени есмы: уповаем же, яко и в совестех ваших явлени есмы.12 Не паки бо себе хвалим пред вами, но вину даем вам похвалению о нас, да имате к хвалящымся в лицы, а не в сердцы.13 Аще бо изумихомся, Богови: аще ли целомудрствуем, вам.14 Ибо любы Божия обдержит нас суждших сие: яко аще един за всех умре, то убо вси умроша.15 Христос же за всех умре, да живущии не ктому себе живут, но умершему за них и воскресшему.16 Темже и мы отныне ни единаго вемы по плоти: аще же и разумехом по плоти Христа, но ныне ктому не разумеем.17 Темже аще кто во Христе, нова тварь: древняя мимоидоша, се быша вся нова:18 Всяческая же от Бога, примирившаго нас себе Иисус Христом и давшаго нам служение примирения:19 зане Бог бе во Христе мир примиряя себе, не вменяя им согрешений их и положив в нас слово примирения.20 По Христе убо молим, яко Богу молящу нами, молим по Христе: примиритеся с Богом.21 Не ведевшаго бо греха по нас грех сотвори, да мы будем правда Божия о нем.

2 Corinthians 5

Living by Faith, Not by Sight

1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in,s is dismantled,t we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.2 For in this earthly houset we groan, because we desire to put ont our heavenly dwelling,3 if indeed, after we have put ons our heavenly house,t we will not be found naked.4 For we groan while we are in this tent,s since we are weighed down,t because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.5 Now the one who prepared us for this very purposet is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.t6 Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on eartht we are absent from the Lord –7 for we livet by faith, not by sight.8 Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be awayt from the body and at home with the Lord.9 So then whether we are alivet or away, we make it our ambition to please him.t

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,s so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil.t

The Message of Reconciliation

11 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord,t we try to persuadet people,t but we are well knownt to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too.12 We are not trying to commendt ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us,t so that you may be able to answer those who take pridet in outward appearancet and not in what is in the heart.13 For if we are out of our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.14 For the love of Christt controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christt died for all; therefore all have died.15 And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised.t16 So then from now on we acknowledget no one from an outward human point of view.t Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view,t now we do not know him in that way any longer.17 So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed awayt – look, what is news has come!t18 And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.19 In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given ust the message of reconciliation.20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His pleat through us. We plead with yout on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God!”

21 Godt made the one who did not know sins to be sin for us, so that in hims we would become the righteousness of God.
