Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
1οιδαμεν γαρ οτι εαν η επιγειοσ ημων οικια του σκηνουσ καταλυθη οικοδομην εκ θεου εχομεν οικιαν αχειροποιητον αιωνιον εν τοισ ουρανοισ
2For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
2και γαρ εν τουτω στεναζομεν το οικητηριον ημων το εξ ουρανου επενδυσασθαι επιποθουντεσ
3if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
3ειγε και ενδυσαμενοι ου γυμνοι ευρεθησομεθα
4For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal 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
5Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
5ο δε κατεργασαμενοσ ημασ εισ αυτο τουτο θεοσ ο και δουσ ημιν τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ
6Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent 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 courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
8θαρρουμεν δε και ευδοκουμεν μαλλον εκδημησαι εκ του σωματοσ και ενδημησαι προσ τον κυριον
9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
9διο και φιλοτιμουμεθα ειτε ενδημουντεσ ειτε εκδημουντεσ ευαρεστοι αυτω ειναι
10For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, 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
11Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
11ειδοτεσ ουν τον φοβον του κυριου ανθρωπουσ πειθομεν θεω δε πεφανερωμεθα ελπιζω δε και εν ταισ συνειδησεσιν υμων πεφανερωσθαι
12For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
12ου γαρ παλιν εαυτουσ συνιστανομεν υμιν αλλα αφορμην διδοντεσ υμιν καυχηματοσ υπερ ημων ινα εχητε προσ τουσ εν προσωπω καυχωμενουσ και ου καρδια
13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
13ειτε γαρ εξεστημεν θεω ειτε σωφρονουμεν υμιν
14For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: 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
15He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
15και υπερ παντων απεθανεν ινα οι ζωντεσ μηκετι εαυτοισ ζωσιν αλλα τω υπερ αυτων αποθανοντι και εγερθεντι
16Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
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 things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
17ωστε ει τισ εν χριστω καινη κτισισ τα αρχαια παρηλθεν ιδου γεγονεν καινα τα παντα
18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to 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
19namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word 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
20We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg 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
21For him who knew no sin he made 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
