Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
1οιδαμεν γαρ οτι εαν η επιγειοσ ημων οικια του σκηνουσ καταλυθη οικοδομην εκ θεου εχομεν οικιαν αχειροποιητον αιωνιον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
2For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
2και γαρ εν τουτω στεναζομεν το οικητηριον ημων το εξ ουρανου επενδυσασθαι επιποθουντεσ
3because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
3ειγε και ενδυσαμενοι ου γυμνοι ευρεθησομεθα
4So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
4και γαρ οι οντεσ εν τω σκηνει στεναζομεν βαρουμενοι εφ ω ου θελομεν εκδυσασθαι αλλ επενδυσασθαι ινα καταποθη το θνητον υπο τησ ζωησ
5And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
5ο δε κατεργασαμενοσ ημασ εισ αυτο τουτο θεοσ ο και δουσ ημιν τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ
6Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
6θαρρουντεσ ουν παντοτε και ειδοτεσ οτι ενδημουντεσ εν τω σωματι εκδημουμεν απο του κυριου
7For we walk by faith, not by sight.
7δια πιστεωσ γαρ περιπατουμεν ου δια ειδουσ
8We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
8θαρρουμεν δε και ευδοκουμεν μαλλον εκδημησαι εκ του σωματοσ και ενδημησαι προσ τον κυριον
9So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.
9διο και φιλοτιμουμεθα ειτε ενδημουντεσ ειτε εκδημουντεσ ευαρεστοι αυτω ειναι
10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
10τουσ γαρ παντασ ημασ φανερωθηναι δει εμπροσθεν του βηματοσ του χριστου ινα κομισηται εκαστοσ τα δια του σωματοσ προσ α επραξεν ειτε αγαθον ειτε κακον
11Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
11ειδοτεσ ουν τον φοβον του κυριου ανθρωπουσ πειθομεν θεω δε πεφανερωμεθα ελπιζω δε και εν ταισ συνειδησεσιν υμων πεφανερωσθαι
12We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
12ου γαρ παλιν εαυτουσ συνιστανομεν υμιν αλλα αφορμην διδοντεσ υμιν καυχηματοσ υπερ ημων ινα εχητε προσ τουσ εν προσωπω καυχωμενουσ και ου καρδια
13If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
13ειτε γαρ εξεστημεν θεω ειτε σωφρονουμεν υμιν
14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
14η γαρ αγαπη του χριστου συνεχει ημασ κριναντασ τουτο οτι ει εισ υπερ παντων απεθανεν αρα οι παντεσ απεθανον
15And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
15και υπερ παντων απεθανεν ινα οι ζωντεσ μηκετι εαυτοισ ζωσιν αλλα τω υπερ αυτων αποθανοντι και εγερθεντι
16So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
16ωστε ημεισ απο του νυν ουδενα οιδαμεν κατα σαρκα ει δε και εγνωκαμεν κατα σαρκα χριστον αλλα νυν ουκετι γινωσκομεν
17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
17ωστε ει τισ εν χριστω καινη κτισισ τα αρχαια παρηλθεν ιδου γεγονεν καινα τα παντα
18All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
18τα δε παντα εκ του θεου του καταλλαξαντοσ ημασ εαυτω δια ιησου χριστου και δοντοσ ημιν την διακονιαν τησ καταλλαγησ
19that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
19ωσ οτι θεοσ ην εν χριστω κοσμον καταλλασσων εαυτω μη λογιζομενοσ αυτοισ τα παραπτωματα αυτων και θεμενοσ εν ημιν τον λογον τησ καταλλαγησ
20Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
20υπερ χριστου ουν πρεσβευομεν ωσ του θεου παρακαλουντοσ δι ημων δεομεθα υπερ χριστου καταλλαγητε τω θεω
21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
21τον γαρ μη γνοντα αμαρτιαν υπερ ημων αμαρτιαν εποιησεν ινα ημεισ γενωμεθα δικαιοσυνη θεου εν αυτω
