哥林多後書 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
死後的盼望
5 我們知道,當我們屬地的家——這帳篷被拆毀的時候,我們就有從神而來的殿宇[a],不是人手所造的,而是在天上的永恆的家。 2 實際上,我們就是在這帳篷裡呻吟嘆息,切切地想穿上我們那從天上而來的居所。 3 如果真的穿上[b],我們將來被看見時,就不是赤身的。 4 原來我們在這帳篷裡的人,承受著壓力,甚至呻吟嘆息;不是因為想要脫下,而是想要穿上,好讓這會死的被生命所吞沒。 5 為此而預備我們的就是神;他賜給我們聖靈做為預付憑據[c]。
6 因此我們總是滿懷勇氣,儘管知道我們還住在這身體裡的時候,是與主相離的; 7 原來我們行事是藉著信,不是藉著眼見。 8 是的,我們滿懷勇氣,更樂意離開這身體,與主同住。 9 所以我們立定心志,無論是住在身體裡,還是離開身體,都要得主的喜悅, 10 因為我們大家都必須站[d]在基督的審判臺前,好使每個人都為自己藉著身體所做的,或善或惡,領受回報。
11 既然如此,我們因為知道敬畏主,就勸導人。我們在神面前是顯明的,但我希望在你們的良心裡,也是顯明的。 12 我們不是再次向你們推薦自己,而是給你們一個誇耀我們的機會,好讓你們可以應對那些只憑外貌、不憑內心誇耀的人, 13 因為我們如果癲狂,是為了神;如果清醒,是為了你們。 14 實際上,基督的愛催逼著我們,因為我們如此判定:既然一個人[e]替所有的人死了,所有的人就都死了; 15 基督替所有的人死了,好讓那些活著的人不再為自己活,卻為替他們死而復活的基督而活。
勸人與神和好的服事
16 所以,從今以後,我們不按人的標準[f]看任何人了。雖然我們曾經按人的標準[g]認識基督,但現在我們不再這樣認識他了。 17 因此,如果有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人[h];舊的已經過去,看哪,新的已經來臨[i]。 18 這一切都是出於神,他藉著基督[j]使我們與他自己和好,並且把這勸人與他[k]和好的服事工作賜給了我們。 19 這就是說,在基督裡,神使世人與自己和好,不把他們的過犯算在他們的身上,又把這和好的福音[l]託付了我們。 20 因此我們是基督的特使,就像神藉著我們在勸告人——我們代替基督請求說:「與神和好吧!」 21 神使那位沒有罪[m]的替我們成為罪[n],好使我們在他裡面成為神的義。

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)

New King James Version
Assurance of the Resurrection
5 For we know that if (A)our earthly [a]house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house (B)not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this (C)we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our [b]habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, (D)having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, (E)but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also (F)has given us the Spirit as [c]a guarantee.
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For (G)we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, (H)well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 (I)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, (J)that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, (K)the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
Be Reconciled to God
12 For (L)we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity (M)to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13 For (N)if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that (O)if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, (P)that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
16 (Q)Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, (R)yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone (S)is in Christ, he is (T)a new creation; (U)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become (V)new. 18 Now all things are of God, (W)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that (X)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are (Y)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For (Z)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become (AA)the righteousness of God in Him.
