고린도후서 5

1만일 땅에 있는 우리의 장막집이 무너지면 하나님께서 지으신 집 곧 손으로 지은 것이 아니요 하늘에 있는 영원한 집이 우리에게 있는 줄 아나니 2과연 우리가 여기 있어 탄식하며 하늘로부터 오는 우리 처소로 덧입기를 간절히 사모하노니 3이렇게 입음은 벗은 자들로 발견되지 않으려 함이라 4이 장막에 있는 우리가 짐 진 것 같이 탄식하는 것은 벗고자 함이 아니요 오직 덧입고자 함이니 죽을 것이 생명에게 삼킨 바 되게 하려 함이라 5곧 이것을 우리에게 이루게 하시고 보증으로 성령을 우리에게 주신 이는 하나님이시니라 6그러므로 우리가 항상 담대하여 몸에 거할 때에는 주와 따로 거하는 줄을 아노니 7이는 우리가 믿음으로 행하고 보는 것으로 하지 아니함이로라 8우리가 담대하여 원하는 바는 차라리 몸을 떠나 주와 함께 거하는 그것이니라 9그런즉 우리는 거하든지 떠나든지 주를 기쁘시게 하는 자가 되기를 힘쓰노라 10이는 우리가 다 반드시 그리스도의 심판대 앞에 드러나 각각 선악간에 그 몸으로 행한 것을 따라 받으려 함이라 11우리가 주의 두려우심을 알므로 사람을 권하노니 우리가 하나님 앞에 알리워졌고 또 너희의 양심에도 알리워졌기를 바라노라 12우리가 다시 너희에게 자천하는 것이 아니요 오직 우리를 인하여 자랑할 기회를 너희에게 주어 마음으로 하지 않고 외모로 자랑하는 자들을 대하게 하려 하는 것이라 13우리가 만일 미쳤어도 하나님을 위한 것이요 만일 정신이 온전하여도 너희를 위한 것이니 14그리스도의 사랑이 우리를 강권하시는도다 우리가 생각건대 한 사람이 모든 사람을 대신하여 죽었은즉 모든 사람이 죽은 것이라 15저가 모든 사람을 대신하여 죽으심은 산 자들로 하여금 다시는 저희 자신을 위하여 살지 않고 오직 저희를 대신하여 죽었다가 다시 사신 자를 위하여 살게 하려 함이니라 16그러므로 우리가 이제부터는 아무 사람도 육체대로 알지 아니하노라 비록 우리가 그리스도도 육체대로 알았으나 이제부터는 이같이 알지 아니하노라 17그런즉 누구든지 그리스도 안에 있으면 새로운 피조물이라 이전 것은 지나갔으니 보라 새 것이 되었도다 18모든 것이 하나님께로 났나니 저가 그리스도로 말미암아 우리를 자기와 화목하게 하시고 또 우리에게 화목하게 하는 직책을 주셨으니 19이는 하나님께서 그리스도 안에 계시사 세상을 자기와 화목하게 하시며 저희의 죄를 저희에게 돌리지 아니하시고 화목하게 하는 말씀을 우리에게 부탁하셨느니라 20이러므로 우리가 그리스도를 대신하여 사신이 되어 하나님이 우리로 너희를 권면하시는 것 같이 그리스도를 대신하여 간구하노니 너희는 하나님과 화목하라 21하나님이 죄를 알지도 못하신 자로 우리를 대신하여 죄를 삼으신 것은 우리로 하여금 저의 안에서 하나님의 의가 되게 하려 하심이니라

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. 2For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven; 3if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked. 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. 5Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; 7for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him. 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. 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. 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. 13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. 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. 16Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. 17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. 18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; 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. 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. 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.

1Want wij weten, dat, zo ons aardse huis dezes tabernakels gebroken wordt, wij een gebouw van God hebben, een huis niet met handen gemaakt, maar eeuwig in de hemelen. 2Want ook in dezen zuchten wij, verlangende met onze woonstede, die uit den hemel is, overkleed te worden. 3Zo wij ook bekleed en niet naakt zullen gevonden worden. 4Want ook wij, die in dezen tabernakel zijn, zuchten, bezwaard zijnde; nademaal wij niet willen ontkleed, maar overkleed worden, opdat het sterfelijke van het leven verslonden worde. 5Die ons nu tot ditzelfde bereid heeft, is God, Die ons ook het onderpand des Geestes gegeven heeft. 6Wij hebben dan altijd goeden moed, en weten, dat wij, inwonende in het lichaam, uitwonen van den Heere; 7(Want wij wandelen door geloof en niet door aanschouwen.) 8Maar wij hebben goeden moed, en hebben meer behagen om uit het lichaam uit te wonen, en bij den Heere in te wonen. 9Daarom zijn wij ook zeer begerig, hetzij inwonende, hetzij uitwonende, om Hem welbehagelijk te zijn. 10Want wij allen moeten geopenbaard worden voor den rechterstoel van Christus, opdat een iegelijk wegdrage, hetgeen door het lichaam geschiedt, naardat hij gedaan heeft, hetzij goed, hetzij kwaad. 11Wij dan, wetende den schrik des Heeren, bewegen de mensen tot het geloof, en zijn Gode openbaar geworden; doch ik hoop ook in uw gewetens geopenbaard te zijn. 12Want wij prijzen onszelven u niet wederom aan, maar wij geven u oorzaak van roem over ons, opdat gij stof zoudt hebben tegen degenen, die in het aangezicht roemen en niet in het hart. 13Want hetzij dat wij uitzinnig zijn, wij zijn het Gode; hetzij dat wij gematigd van zinnen zijn, wij zijn het ulieden. 14Want de liefde van Christus dringt ons; 15Als die dit oordelen, dat, indien Een voor allen gestorven is, zij dan allen gestorven zijn. En Hij is voor allen gestorven, opdat degenen, die leven, niet meer zichzelven zouden leven, maar Dien, Die voor hen gestorven en opgewekt is. 16Zo dan, wij kennen van nu aan niemand naar het vlees; en indien wij ook Christus naar het vlees gekend hebben, nochtans kennen wij Hem nu niet meer naar het vlees. 17Zo dan, indien iemand in Christus is, die is een nieuw schepsel; het oude is voorbijgegaan, ziet, het is alles nieuw geworden. 18En al deze dingen zijn uit God, Die ons met Zichzelven verzoend heeft door Jezus Christus, en ons de bediening der verzoening gegeven heeft. 19Want God was in Christus de wereld met Zichzelven verzoenende, hun zonden hun niet toerekenende; en heeft het woord der verzoening in ons gelegd. 20Zo zijn wij dan gezanten van Christus wege, alsof God door ons bade; wij bidden van Christus wege: laat u met God verzoenen. 21Want Dien, Die geen zonde gekend heeft, heeft Hij zonde voor ons gemaakt, opdat wij zouden worden rechtvaardigheid Gods in Hem.
