2 Corinthians 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.	1 Scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra hujus habitationis dissolvatur, quod ædificationem ex Deo habemus, domum non manufactam, æternam in cælis.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:	2 Nam et in hoc ingemiscimus, habitationem nostram, quæ de cælo est, superindui cupientes :
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.	3 si tamen vestiti, non nudi inveniamur.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.	4 Nam et qui sumus in hoc tabernaculo, ingemiscimus gravati : eo quod nolumus expoliari, sed supervestiri, ut absorbeatur quod mortale est, a vita.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.	5 Qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum, Deus, qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:	6 Audentes igitur semper, scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore, peregrinamur a Domino
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)	7 (per fidem enim ambulamus, et non per speciem) :
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.	8 audemus autem, et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore, et præsentes esse ad Dominum.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.	9 Et ideo contendimus, sive absentes, sive præsentes, placere illi.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.	10 Omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi, ut referat unusquisque propria corporis, prout gessit, sive bonum, sive malum.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.	11 Scientes ergo timorem Domini, hominibus suademus, Deo autem manifesti sumus. Spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse.
12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.	12 Non iterum commendamus nos vobis, sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis : ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur, et non in corde.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.	13 Sive enim mente excedimus Deo : sive sobrii sumus, vobis.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:	14 Caritas enim Christi urget nos : æstimantes hoc, quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est, ergo omnes mortui sunt :
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.	15 et pro omnibus mortuus est Christus : ut, et qui vivunt, jam non sibi vivant, sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.	16 Itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem. Et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum, sed nunc jam non novimus.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.	17 Si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura, vetera transierunt : ecce facta sunt omnia nova.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;	18 Omnia autem ex Deo, qui nos reconciliavit sibi per Christum : et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis,
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.	19 quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi, non reputans illis delicta ipsorum, et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.	20 Pro Christo ergo legatione fungimur, tamquam Deo exhortante per nos. Obsecramus pro Christo, reconciliamini Deo.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.	21 Eum, qui non noverat peccatum, pro nobis peccatum fecit, ut nos efficeremur justitia Dei in ipso.
