2.Korinther 5 | Синодальный перевод

1 Ибо знаем, что, когда земной наш дом, эта хижина, разрушится, мы имеем от Бога жилище на небесах, дом нерукотворенный, вечный. 2 От того мы и воздыхаем, желая облечься в небесное наше жилище; 3 только бы нам и одетым не оказаться нагими. 4 Ибо мы, находясь в этой хижине, воздыхаем под бременем, потому что не хотим совлечься, но облечься, чтобы смертное поглощено было жизнью. 5 На сие самое и создал нас Бог и дал нам залог Духа. 6 Итак мы всегда благодушествуем; и как знаем, что, водворяясь в теле, мы устранены от Господа, – 7 ибо мы ходим верою, а не видением, – 8 то мы благодушествуем и желаем лучше выйти из тела и водвориться у Господа. 9 И потому ревностно стараемся, водворяясь ли, выходя ли, быть Ему угодными; 10 ибо всем нам должно явиться пред судилище Христово, чтобы каждому получить [соответственно тому], что он делал, живя в теле, доброе или худое. 11 Итак, зная страх Господень, мы вразумляем людей, Богу же мы открыты; надеюсь, что открыты и вашим совестям. 12 Не снова представляем себя вам, но даем вам повод хвалиться нами, дабы имели вы [что сказать] тем, которые хвалятся лицем, а не сердцем. 13 Если мы выходим из себя, то для Бога; если же скромны, то для вас. 14 Ибо любовь Христова объемлет нас, рассуждающих так: если один умер за всех, то все умерли. 15 А Христос за всех умер, чтобы живущие уже не для себя жили, но для умершего за них и воскресшего. 16 Потому отныне мы никого не знаем по плоти; если же и знали Христа по плоти, то ныне уже не знаем. 17 Итак, кто во Христе, [тот] новая тварь; древнее прошло, теперь все новое. 18 Все же от Бога, Иисусом Христом примирившего нас с Собою и давшего нам служение примирения, 19 потому что Бог во Христе примирил с Собою мир, не вменяя [людям] преступлений их, и дал нам слово примирения. 20 Итак мы – посланники от имени Христова, и как бы Сам Бог увещевает через нас; от имени Христова просим: примиритесь с Богом. 21 Ибо не знавшего греха Он сделал для нас [жертвою за] грех, чтобы мы в Нем сделались праведными пред Богом.

Waiting for our new bodies

1 We know that the earthly tent we live in will be destroyed. But we have a building made by God. It is a house in heaven that lasts for ever. Human hands did not build it. 2 During our time on earth we groan. We long to put on our house in heaven as if it were clothing. 3 Then we will not be naked. 4 While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life. 5 God has formed us for that very purpose. He has given us the Holy Spirit as a down payment. The Spirit makes us sure of what is still to come. 6 So here is what we can always be certain about. As long as we are at home in our bodies, we are away from the Lord. 7 We live by believing, not by seeing. 8 We are certain about that. We would rather be away from our bodies and at home with the Lord. 9 So we try our best to please him. We want to please him whether we are at home in our bodies or away from them. 10 We must all stand in front of Christ to be judged. Each one of us will be judged for what we do while in our bodies. We’ll be judged for the good things and the bad things. Then each of us will receive what we are supposed to get.

Christ brings us back to God

11 We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking. 12 We are not trying to make an appeal to you again. But we are giving you a chance to take pride in us. Some people take pride in their looks rather than what’s in their hearts. If you take pride in us, you will be able to answer them. 13 Are we ‘out of our minds,’ as some people say? If so, it is because we want to serve God. Does what we say make sense? If so, it is because we want to serve you. 14 Christ’s love controls us. We are sure that one person died for everyone. And so everyone died. 15 Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we don’t look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we looked at Christ in that way. But we don’t anymore. 17 When anyone lives in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone! The new is here! 18 All this is from God. He brought us back to himself through Christ’s death on the cross. And he has given us the task of bringing others back to him through Christ. 19 God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be brought back to him. 20 So we are Christ’s official messengers. It is as if God were making his appeal through us. Here is what Christ wants us to beg you to do. Come back to God! 21 Christ didn’t have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made right with God because of what Christ has done for us.
