2COR Chapter 5

2 Cor 5

Assurance of the resurrection 

1 For, we are aware that in case our earthly house is demolished, we have a tabernacle from heaven, a building-structure in God, eternal house not made by hands.

2 because, even in this one, we are lamenting/in a strait, longing to be clothed for our habitation, from heaven.

3 for, if indeed, we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

4 for, it is not a tabernacle, in which we will be lamenting/in a strait and be weighed-down, upon which, you want to be stripped off, but to be clothed up, at least to swallow up mortality under Zoe-Life.

5 Moreover, God has fully worked out this thing for us, and has given unto us a down-payment (deposit) of HIS SPIRIT.

6 therefore, having known that, as the Lord is absent away from (us), we are always courageous as we are at home in the body --

7 for, we walk through Faith, (and) not through appearance (view).

8 Moreover, we shall be well-pleased and be more courageous, to be absent from the body, and be at home towards the Lord. 

9 and because of this, we are ambitious/eager to be acceptable to Him, whether at home (on earth) or being away (emigrated).

The judgment seat of Christ

10 No doubt, everybody must manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, at least, we will carry away/obtain things (kolumbao), for what each person had practised, through his body, whether towards good or foul (flawy) things.

11 therefore, being aware of the fear of men; you are persuaded of God to manifest forth the things of the Lord, which are also expected to manifest forth in your co-perceptions. 

New-age is here now by Faith in Christ

12 Again, this is not to commend/introduce ourselves to you, but an occasion to give you a boasting over us, at least, to boast towards things you have in the heart and not on the face.

13 because, whether we are amazing (put out of wit), it is for God; or being moderate, it is for you.

14 for, the selfless-Love of Christ compel us, to judge/decide on these things, that, ONE died for the sake of everybody. Ara (heartfelt inference lifted to heaven), everybody would have died.

15 And having died for all, at least those living, should no longer live for themselves, but for Him Who died, and has been raised again.

16 In so much that from now, we should know nothing according to the flesh. Even if we were no longer aware of Christ according to the flesh; on the contrary,  now, we have absolutely known things. 

17 thus, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new-age original-creature. Things of old time have passed away; behold, New-age has come into being.

Be reconciled and reconcile others to God

18 So, all things are from God, WHO reconciled us to HIMSELF, through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation/exchange.

19 In that, as (it were), God reconciled the world to Himself in Christ, not reckoning (counting) their trespasses to them, and put in us, the words of reconciliation, 

20 Therefore, for Christ sake, we are Advocates/representatives, who beseech/beg to be reconciled to God. As (it were), God is exhorting through us, for Christ sake;

21 Who never commit sin; we should know, at least for the sake of our sin, that, the justification of God has come into being in Him.
