2 Corinthians

Chapter 5

Phonetic (Greek): Oidamen gar hoti ean he epigeios hemon oikia toy skenous katalythῇ, oikodomen ek theoy echomen oikian acheiropoieton aionion en tois oyranois.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ ἐπίγειος ἡμῶν οἰκία τοῦ σκήνους καταλυθῇ, οἰκοδομὴν ἐκ θεοῦ ἔχομεν οἰκίαν ἀχειροποίητον αἰώνιον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

Phonetic (Greek): kai gar en toytῳ stenazomen, to oiketerion hemon to ex oyranoy ependysasthai epipothoyntes,

Edified Edition (EDE)For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

καὶ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ στενάζομεν, τὸ οἰκητήριον ἡμῶν τὸ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπενδύσασθαι ἐπιποθοῦντες,

Phonetic (Greek): ⸂ei ge⸃ kai ⸀endysamenoi oy gymnoi ehyrethesometha.

Edified Edition (EDE)if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.

⸂εἴ γε⸃ καὶ ⸀ἐνδυσάμενοι οὐ γυμνοὶ εὑρεθησόμεθα.

Phonetic (Greek): kai gar ohi ontes en tῷ skenei stenazomen baroymenoi ephʼ ho oy thelomen ekdysasthai allʼ ependysasthai, hina katapothῇ to thneton hypo tes zoes.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

καὶ γὰρ οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ σκήνει στενάζομεν βαρούμενοι ἐφʼ ᾧ οὐ θέλομεν ἐκδύσασθαι ἀλλʼ ἐπενδύσασθαι, ἵνα καταποθῇ τὸ θνητὸν ὑπὸ τῆς ζωῆς.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de katergasamenos hemas eis ayto toyto theos, ⸀ho doys hemin ton arrabona toy pneymatos.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

ὁ δὲ κατεργασάμενος ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο θεός, ⸀ὁ δοὺς ἡμῖν τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ πνεύματος.

Phonetic (Greek): Tharroyntes oyn pantote kai eidotes hoti endemoyntes en tῷ somati ekdemoymen apo toy kyriou,

Edified Edition (EDE)So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

Θαρροῦντες οὖν πάντοτε καὶ εἰδότες ὅτι ἐνδημοῦντες ἐν τῷ σώματι ἐκδημοῦμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου,

Phonetic (Greek): dia pisteos gar peripatoymen, oy dia eidous—

Edified Edition (EDE)For we walk by faith, not by sight.

διὰ πίστεως γὰρ περιπατοῦμεν, οὐ διὰ εἴδους—

Phonetic (Greek): tharroymen de kai eydokoymen mallon ekdemesai ek toy somatos kai endemesai pros ton kyrion·

Edified Edition (EDE)We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

θαρροῦμεν δὲ καὶ εὐδοκοῦμεν μᾶλλον ἐκδημῆσαι ἐκ τοῦ σώματος καὶ ἐνδημῆσαι πρὸς τὸν κύριον·

Phonetic (Greek): dio kai philotimoymetha, eite endemoyntes eite ekdemoyntes, eyarestoi aytῷ einai.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

διὸ καὶ φιλοτιμούμεθα, εἴτε ἐνδημοῦντες εἴτε ἐκδημοῦντες, εὐάρεστοι αὐτῷ εἶναι.

Phonetic (Greek): toys gar pantas hemas phanerothenai dei emprosthen toy bematos toy Christoy, hina komisetai hekastos ta dia toy somatos pros ha epraxen, eite agathon eite ⸀phaylon.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

τοὺς γὰρ πάντας ἡμᾶς φανερωθῆναι δεῖ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βήματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα κομίσηται ἕκαστος τὰ διὰ τοῦ σώματος πρὸς ἃ ἔπραξεν, εἴτε ἀγαθὸν εἴτε ⸀φαῦλον.

Phonetic (Greek): Eidotes oyn ton phobon toy kyriou anthropous peithomen, theῷ de pephanerometha· elpizo de kai en tais syneidesesin hymon pephanerosthai.

Edified Edition (EDE)Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Εἰδότες οὖν τὸν φόβον τοῦ κυρίου ἀνθρώπους πείθομεν, θεῷ δὲ πεφανερώμεθα· ἐλπίζω δὲ καὶ ἐν ταῖς συνειδήσεσιν ὑμῶν πεφανερῶσθαι.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀oy palin heautoys synistanomen hymin, alla aphormen didontes hymin kauchematos hyper hemon, hina echete pros toys en prosopῳ kauchomenous kai ⸂me en⸃ kardiᾳ.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

⸀οὐ πάλιν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστάνομεν ὑμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἀφορμὴν διδόντες ὑμῖν καυχήματος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ἔχητε πρὸς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ καυχωμένους καὶ ⸂μὴ ἐν⸃ καρδίᾳ.

Phonetic (Greek): eite gar exestemen, theῷ· eite sophronoymen, hymin.

Edified Edition (EDE)For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

εἴτε γὰρ ἐξέστημεν, θεῷ· εἴτε σωφρονοῦμεν, ὑμῖν.

Phonetic (Greek): he gar agape toy Christoy synechei hemas, krinantas toyto ⸀hoti ehis hyper panton apethanen· ara ohi pantes apethanon·

Edified Edition (EDE)For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

ἡ γὰρ ἀγάπη τοῦ Χριστοῦ συνέχει ἡμᾶς, κρίναντας τοῦτο ⸀ὅτι εἷς ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν· ἄρα οἱ πάντες ἀπέθανον·

Phonetic (Greek): kai hyper panton apethanen hina ohi zontes meketi heautois zosin alla tῷ hyper ayton apothanonti kai egerthenti.

Edified Edition (EDE)and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἵνα οἱ ζῶντες μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς ζῶσιν ἀλλὰ τῷ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντι καὶ ἐγερθέντι.

Phonetic (Greek): Ὥste hemeis apo toy nyn oydena oidamen kata sarka· ⸀ei kai egnokamen kata sarka Christon, alla nyn oyketi ginoskomen.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

Ὥστε ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν οὐδένα οἴδαμεν κατὰ σάρκα· ⸀εἰ καὶ ἐγνώκαμεν κατὰ σάρκα Χριστόν, ἀλλὰ νῦν οὐκέτι γινώσκομεν.

Phonetic (Greek): hoste ei tis en Christῷ, kaine ktisis· ta archaia parelthen, idoy gegonen ⸀kaina·

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

ὥστε εἴ τις ἐν Χριστῷ, καινὴ κτίσις· τὰ ἀρχαῖα παρῆλθεν, ἰδοὺ γέγονεν ⸀καινά·

Phonetic (Greek): ta de panta ek toy theoy toy katallaxantos hemas heautῷ ⸀dia Christoy kai dontos hemin ten diakonian tes katallages,

Edified Edition (EDE)Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ καταλλάξαντος ἡμᾶς ἑαυτῷ ⸀διὰ Χριστοῦ καὶ δόντος ἡμῖν τὴν διακονίαν τῆς καταλλαγῆς,

Phonetic (Greek): hos hoti theos en en Christῷ kosmon katallasson heautῷ, me logizomenos aytois ta paraptomata ayton, kai themenos en hemin ton logon tes katallages.

Edified Edition (EDE)that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

ὡς ὅτι θεὸς ἦν ἐν Χριστῷ κόσμον καταλλάσσων ἑαυτῷ, μὴ λογιζόμενος αὐτοῖς τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ θέμενος ἐν ἡμῖν τὸν λόγον τῆς καταλλαγῆς.

Phonetic (Greek): hyper Christoy oyn presbeyomen hos toy theoy parakaloyntos diʼ hemon· deometha hyper Christoy, katallagete tῷ theῷ.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ οὖν πρεσβεύομεν ὡς τοῦ θεοῦ παρακαλοῦντος διʼ ἡμῶν· δεόμεθα ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ, καταλλάγητε τῷ θεῷ.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀ton me gnonta hamartian hyper hemon hamartian epoiesen, hina hemeis genometha dikaiosyne theoy en aytῷ.

Edified Edition (EDE)For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

⸀τὸν μὴ γνόντα ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν, ἵνα ἡμεῖς γενώμεθα δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.
