2 Coríntios 5
Nova Versão Transformadora
Um novo corpo
5 Sabemos que, quando nosso corpo terreno, esta tenda em que vivemos, se desfizer, teremos um corpo eterno, uma casa no céu feita para nós pelo próprio Deus, e não por mãos humanas. 2 Na tenda terrena, gememos e desejamos ansiosamente nos vestir com nosso lar celestial, como se fosse uma roupa nova. 3 Porque de fato nos vestiremos com um corpo celestial, e não ficaremos despidos. 4 Enquanto vivemos nesta tenda que é o corpo terreno, gememos e suspiramos, mas isso não significa que queremos ser despidos. Na verdade, queremos vestir nosso corpo novo, para que este corpo mortal seja engolido pela vida. 5 Deus nos preparou para isso e, como garantia, nos deu o Espírito.
6 Portanto, temos sempre confiança, apesar de sabermos que, enquanto vivemos neste corpo, não estamos em nosso lar com o Senhor. 7 Porque vivemos por fé, e não pelo que vemos. 8 Sim, temos confiança absoluta e preferíamos deixar este corpo terreno, pois então estaríamos em nosso lar com o Senhor. 9 Assim, quer estejamos neste corpo, quer o deixemos, nosso objetivo é agradar ao Senhor. 10 Pois todos nós teremos de comparecer diante do tribunal de Cristo, para que cada um receba o que merecer pelo bem ou pelo mal que tiver feito neste corpo terreno.
Embaixadores de Cristo
11 Assim, conhecendo o temor ao Senhor, procuramos persuadir outros. Deus sabe que somos sinceros, e espero que vocês também o saibam. 12 Estamos mais uma vez nos recomendando a vocês? Nada disso, estamos apenas lhes dando motivos para que se orgulhem de nós,[a] a fim de que possam responder àqueles que se orgulham nas aparências, e não no coração. 13 Se parecemos loucos, é para dar glória a Deus, e se mantemos o juízo, é para o bem de vocês. 14 De qualquer forma, o amor de Cristo nos impulsiona.[b] Porque cremos que ele morreu por todos, também cremos que todos morreram. 15 Ele morreu por todos, para que os que recebem sua nova vida não vivam mais para si mesmos, mas para Cristo, que morreu e ressuscitou por eles.
16 Portanto, não avaliamos mais ninguém do ponto de vista humano. Em outros tempos, pensávamos em Cristo apenas do ponto de vista humano, mas agora o conhecemos de modo bem diferente. 17 Logo, todo aquele que está em Cristo se tornou nova criação. A velha vida acabou, e uma nova vida teve início!
18 E tudo isso vem de Deus, aquele que nos trouxe de volta para si por meio de Cristo e nos encarregou de reconciliar outros com ele. 19 Pois, em Cristo, Deus estava reconciliando consigo o mundo, não levando mais em conta os pecados das pessoas. E ele nos deu esta mensagem maravilhosa de reconciliação. 20 Agora, portanto, somos embaixadores de Cristo; Deus faz seu apelo por nosso intermédio. Falamos em nome de Cristo quando dizemos: “Reconciliem-se com Deus!”. 21 Pois Deus fez de Cristo, aquele que nunca pecou, a oferta por nosso pecado,[c] para que por meio dele fôssemos declarados justos diante de Deus.
2 Corinthians 5
English Standard Version
Our Heavenly Dwelling
5 For we know that if (A)the tent that is (B)our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, (C)a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent (D)we groan, longing to (E)put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on[a] we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal (F)may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, (G)who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.[b]
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that (H)while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for (I)we walk by faith, not (J)by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we (K)would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to (L)please him. 10 For (M)we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, (N)so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Therefore, knowing (O)the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But (P)what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 (Q)We are not commending ourselves to you again but (R)giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13 For if we (S)are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ (T)controls us, because we have concluded this: that (U)one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, (V)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but (W)for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, (X)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is (Y)in Christ, he is (Z)a new creation.[c] (AA)The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, (AB)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us (AC)the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[d] the world to himself, (AD)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us (AE)the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, (AF)we are ambassadors for Christ, (AG)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 (AH)For our sake he made him to be sin (AI)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become (AJ)the righteousness of God.

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)
