Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
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 .
For
we have
known
that if our
earthly house
of
the
tabernacle
may
be
thrown
down
, a building from God we
have
, an house not made
with
hands --
age-during
--
in
the
heavens,
For in this tent
we groan, longing
to
be
clothed
with our heavenly
dwelling,
for also
in this we groan, with our dwelling that
is
from
heaven
earnestly
desiring
to
clothe
ourselves
,
because
when
we
are
clothed, we will
not be found naked .
if
so
be
that,
having
clothed ourselves
, we shall
not be found naked ,
So
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.
for
we also
who
are in the
tabernacle
do
groan, being
burdened,
seeing
we wish not
to unclothe
ourselves,
but to
clothe
ourselves
, that the
mortal
may be swallowed up of
the
life.
And God
has
prepared
us for
this very
purpose
and
has
given
us the Spirit
as
a
pledge
of what
is
to
come.
And He
who
did
work
us to
this self-same
thing
`is'
God,
who
also
did
give
to
us the earnest
of the
Spirit;
Therefore
we
are
always
confident
, although
we
know
that while
we
are
at home in the body, we are away from the Lord .
having
courage
, then,
at
all
times,
and
knowing
that being
at home in the body, we are away from home
from
the Lord ,
--
For we walk by
faith
, not by
sight .
for through
faith
we walk, not through
sight --
We are
confident,
then
, and would
prefer
to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
we have
courage
, and are
well
pleased
rather
to be away from the home
of
the
body ,
and to
be
at home with the Lord.
So
we aspire
to
please
Him
, whether we
are
here
in
this
body
or away from it.
Wherefore
also
we are
ambitious
, whether at
home
or away from home,
to
be
well
pleasing
to
him,
For 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.
for all of
us
it
behoveth
to
be
manifested
before the tribunal
of the
Christ, that each one may receive the things `
done '
through
the body, in
reference
to
the
things
that
he
did,
whether good or evil;
Therefore, 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.
having
known,
therefore, the
fear of
the Lord, we persuade men ,
and
to God we
are
manifested
, and I hope also
in
your consciences
to
have
been
manifested;
We
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 .
for
not again
ourselves do
we
recommend
to you, but
we are giving occasion to you
of glorifying
in
our
behalf
, that ye
may
have
`something'
in
reference
to
those glorifying
in face
and
not
in heart ;
If
we are
out
of
our
mind
, it is
for
God; if
we are
of sound mind ,
it is for
you .
for
whether
we were
beside
ourselves
, `
it was'
to
God; whether
we be
of sound mind --
`
it is '
to
you ,
For Christ’s
love compels
us, because
we
are
convinced
that One died
for all, therefore
all
died .
for the
love of
the
Christ
doth
constrain
us, having
judged
thus:
that if
one for all died
, then
the
whole
died ,
And 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.
and for all he
died
, that those living,
no more
to
themselves may
live
, but to
him who died for them ,
and was raised again.
So from
now
on
we regard
no one according to the flesh .
Although
we once
regarded
Christ in
this
way
, we do
so
no longer.
So that
we henceforth
have
known
no one according to the flesh ,
and
even
if
we have
known
Christ according
to
the
flesh
, yet
now
we know
him
no more;
Therefore
if anyone
is in Christ ,
he is a new creation.
The old has
passed
away .
Behold
, the
new has
come!
so
that
if any
one
`
is '
in Christ --
`
he is '
a new creature;
the old things
did
pass
away, lo,
become
new have
the
all
things.
All this
is
from
God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave
us the ministry
of reconciliation :
And
the
all things
`are'
of
God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus
Christ ,
and did
give
to
us the ministration
of the
reconciliation ,
that 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 .
how
that God was in
Christ
--
a
world reconciling
to Himself, not reckoning
to
them their
trespasses;
and having
put
in
us the word
of the
reconciliation ,
Therefore
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 .
in
behalf
of
Christ,
then,
we are ambassadors, as if
God were calling
through us ,
we beseech,
in
behalf of Christ ,
`
Be ye
reconciled to God ;'
God
made
Him who knew
no
sin
to
be
sin on
our behalf, so
that in
Him
we might
become the righteousness of God.
for
him who did
not
know
sin ,
in
our behalf He
did
make
sin
, that we may
become the righteousness of God in
him
.
