哥林多後書 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
天上的房屋
5 我們知道,我們的身體好比是地上的帳篷,如果毀壞了,我們就從上帝那裡得到一個住處,不是人手造的,而是天上永恆的「房屋」。 2 我們在這地上的「帳篷」裡歎息,渴望早日遷進那天上的「房屋」,好像更換衣服一樣。 3 我們一旦穿上新衣,就不會赤身露體了。 4 我們在這「帳篷」裡勞苦歎息,並非想脫去這地上的身體,而是切望能穿上那天上的新身體,讓永恆的生命吞滅必朽的身體。 5 是上帝為此目的預備了我們,並賜給了我們聖靈作擔保。
6 所以,我們總是坦然無懼,儘管知道住在肉身之內便無法與主在一起。 7 因為我們行事為人,是憑對上帝的信心,不是憑眼見。 8 是的,我們坦然無懼,甚至更樂意離開身體,回到天家與主相聚。 9 因此,我們立定心志,無論是住在肉身之內還是離開肉身,都要取悅主。 10 因為我們所有的人都要出現在基督的審判台前,好按照各人在肉身之時所行的善惡接受賞罰。
勸人與上帝和好
11 我們知道主是當受敬畏的,所以勸人歸信祂。我們的內心如何,上帝知道,我盼望你們的良心也知道。 12 我們不是稱讚自己,而是讓你們有機會以我們為榮,叫你們可以反駁那些只貪圖外表虛榮、不注重內在實質的人。 13 如果我們瘋狂,那是為了上帝;如果我們清醒,那是為了你們。 14 因為基督的愛激勵我們,因為我們確信:基督一人既代替所有的人死了,所有的人就都死了。 15 祂為眾人死,是要叫那些活著的人不再為自己活,而是要為替他們死而復活的基督活。
16 從今以後,我們不再以貌取人了,雖然我們曾這樣看待基督,現在卻不再這樣看待祂了。 17 若有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,看啊,一切都更新了。 18 這一切都是上帝的作為,祂藉著基督使我們與祂和好,又把勸人與祂和好的職分賜給了我們。 19 也就是說,上帝在基督裡使世人與自己和好,不再追究他們的過犯。祂已託付我們去傳揚這和好之道。 20 所以我們現在是基督的大使,可以說上帝正藉著我們發出呼求。我們替基督懇求你們:要與上帝和好! 21 上帝使無罪的基督擔當我們的罪,使我們可以藉著基督成為被上帝接納的義人。
2 Korinthierbrevet 5
Svenska 1917
5 Ty vi veta, att om vår kroppshydda, vår jordiska boning, nedbrytes, så hava vi en byggnad som kommer från Gud, en boning som icke är gjord med händer, en evig boning i himmelen.
2 Därför sucka vi ju ock av längtan att få överkläda oss med vår himmelska hydda;
3 ty hava vi en gång iklätt oss denna, skola vi sedan icke komma att befinnas nakna.
4 Ja, vi som ännu leva här i kroppshyddan, vi sucka och äro betungade, eftersom vi skulle vilja undgå att avkläda oss och i stället få överkläda oss, så att det som är dödligt bleve uppslukat av livet.
5 Och den som har berett oss till just detta, det är Gud, som till en underpant har givit oss Anden.
6 Så äro vi då alltid vid gott mod. Vi veta väl att vi äro borta ifrån Herren, så länge vi äro hemma i kroppen;
7 ty vi vandra här i tro och icke i åskådning.
8 Men vi äro vid gott mod och skulle helst vilja flytta bort ifrån kroppen och komma hem till Herren.
9 Därför söka vi ock vår ära i att vara honom till behag, vare sig vi äro hemma eller borta.
10 Ty vi måste alla, sådana vi äro, träda fram inför Kristi domstol, för att var och en skall få igen sitt jordelivs gärningar, alltefter som han har handlat, vare sig han har gjort gott eller ont.
11 Då vi alltså veta vad det är att frukta Herren, söka vi att »vinna människor», men för Gud är det uppenbart hurudana vi äro; och jag hoppas att det också är uppenbart för edra samveten.
12 Vi vilja nu ingalunda åter anbefalla oss själva hos eder, men vi vilja giva eder en anledning att berömma eder i fråga om oss, så att I haven något att svara dem som berömma sig av utvärtes ting och icke av vad som är i hjärtat.
13 Ty om vi hava varit »från våra sinnen», så har det varit i Guds tjänst; om vi åter äro vid lugn besinning, så är det eder till godo.
14 Ty Kristi kärlek tvingar oss, eftersom vi tänka så: en har dött för alla, alltså hava de alla dött.
15 Och han har dött för alla, på det att de som leva icke mer må leva för sig själva, utan leva för honom som har dött och uppstått för dem.
16 Allt ifrån denna tid veta vi därför för vår del icke av någon efter köttet. Och om vi än efter köttet hade lärt känna Kristus, så känna vi honom nu icke mer på det sättet.
17 Alltså, om någon är i Kristus, så är han en ny skapelse. Det gamla är förgånget; se, något nytt har kommit!
18 Men alltsammans kommer från Gud, som har försonat oss med sig själv genom Kristus och givit åt oss försoningens ämbete.
19 Ty det var Gud som i Kristus försonade världen med sig själv; han tillräknar icke människorna deras synder, och han har betrott oss med försoningens ord.
20 Å Kristi vägnar äro vi alltså sändebud; det är Gud som förmanar genom oss. Vi bedja å Kristi vägnar: Låten försona eder med Gud.
21 Den som icke visste av någon synd, honom har han för oss gjort till synd, på det att vi i honom må bliva rättfärdighet från Gud.
2 Corinthians 5
New International Version
Awaiting the New Body
5 For we know that if the earthly(A) tent(B) we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan,(C) longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(D) 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan(E) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(F) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(G)
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight.(H) 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.(I) 9 So we make it our goal to please him,(J) whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us(K) for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord,(L) we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.(M) 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,(N) but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us,(O) so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are “out of our mind,”(P) as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.(Q) 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves(R) but for him who died for them(S) and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(T) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(U) the new creation(V) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(W) 18 All this is from God,(X) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(Y) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(Z) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(AA) as though God were making his appeal through us.(AB) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(AC) 21 God made him who had no sin(AD) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(AE)

2 Corinthians 5
World English Bible
5 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. 2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while 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 courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him. 10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences. 12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died. 15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold,[a] all things have become new. 18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
