Nova tijela
5 Znamo da ćemo, kad se ovaj šator u kojemu sada živimo sruši - kad umremo i napustimo tijela[a] - imati nova tijela, vječni dom u nebu, koji će biti Božje djelo, a ne djelo ljudskih ruku.
2 Zato uzdišemo u ovim tijelima i čeznemo za danom kada ćemo obući nebeska tijela.
3 U njih obučeni, nećemo se naći golima.
4 U ovima zemaljskim tijelima uzdišemo i stenjemo, ali ne zato što bismo željeli umrijeti i izići iz njih, već zato što se želimo obući u nova tijela, tako da vječni život proguta ova naša smrtna tijela.
5 Za to nas je pripremio sam Bog i dao nam svojega Svetog Duha kao jamstvo.
6 Stoga uvijek imamo pouzdanja iako znamo da dokle god smo u ovome tijelu, nismo kod kuće, kod Gospodina.
7 živimo po vjeri, a ne po onome što vidimo.
8 Puni smo pouzdanja i radije bismo izišli iz ovih tijela jer ćemo tada biti u svojem domu, kod Gospodina.
9 Zato mu uvijek nastojimo ugoditi, bilo da ostajemo u ovomu tijelu ili iz njega odlazimo,
10 jer ćemo svi morati stati pred Kristov sud i svatko će primiti što je zaslužio: nagradu ili kaznu, već prema tome je li u ovomu tijelu činio dobro ili zlo.
Božji smo poslanici
11 Zato puni straha Gospodnjega nastojimo pridobiti ljude za Boga. Bog zna da smo iskreni, a nadam se da i vi to znate.
12 Ne hvalimo to opet sami sebe, nego vam dajemo razlog da se ponosite nama, kako biste imali što odgovoriti onima koji se ponose izvanjskim stvarima umjesto iskrenim srcem.
13 Ako se čini da smo nerazumni, neka to ostane između Boga i nas. Ako smo zdrave pameti, to je za vaše dobro.
14 Kristova ljubav prema nama ne ostavlja nam izbora kad shvatimo da je on jedan umro umjesto svih, pa su prema tome i svi oni nečemu umrli.
15 On je, naime, umro umjesto svih kako oni koji su živi, više ne bi živjeli da ugode sebi, već da njemu koji je umro i uskrsnuo za njih.
16 Zato mi više nikoga ne procjenjujemo po tjelesnim stvarima. Prije smo i Krista cijenili prema ljudskim mjerilima, ali sada to više ne činimo.
17 Kad je tko u Kristu, on je novo stvorenje. Stari je čovjek nestao, a rodio se novi.
18 Sve to dolazi od Boga, koji nas je kroz Krista pomirio sa sobom i koji nam je povjerio zadaću da izmirujemo ljude s njim.
19 Jer Bog je u Kristu pomirio svijet sa sobom da više ljudima ne uračunava njihove prijestupe, a nama je dao da govorimo o tome pomirenju.
20 Tako obavljamo poslaničku službu i u ime samoga Krista vas preklinjemo: pomirite se s Bogom!
21 Jer je Bog Krista koji nikada nije zgriješio učinio umjesto nas grijehom da bismo mi u njemu mogli postati Božjom pravednošću.

2 Corinthians 5
New International Version
Awaiting the New Body
5 For we know that if the earthly(A) tent(B) we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan,(C) longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(D) 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan(E) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(F) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(G)
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight.(H) 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.(I) 9 So we make it our goal to please him,(J) whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us(K) for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord,(L) we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.(M) 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,(N) but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us,(O) so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are “out of our mind,”(P) as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.(Q) 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves(R) but for him who died for them(S) and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(T) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(U) the new creation(V) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(W) 18 All this is from God,(X) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(Y) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(Z) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(AA) as though God were making his appeal through us.(AB) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(AC) 21 God made him who had no sin(AD) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(AE)

2 Corinthians 5
King James Version
2 Corinthians 5
King James Version
5 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.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
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.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
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.
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.
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.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
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.
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.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
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;
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.
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.
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.
