¹Lebo vieme, že keby náš pozemský dom stánu bol zborený, máme stavänie od Boha, dom, nie rukou učinený, večný v nebesiach;

¹For 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,

²lebo v tomto aj vzdycháme túžiac, že by sme si mohli obliecť naň svoj príbytok z neba,

²for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

³akže aj oblečení a nie nahí budeme najdení.

³if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

⁴Lebo aj, ktorí sme v tomto stáne, vzdycháme súc obtiažení, nakoľko sa nechceme vyzliecť, ale sa poodiať, aby to, čo je smrteľné, bolo pohltené od života.

⁴for 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.

⁵No, ten, kto nás práve k tomu istému pripravil, je Bôh, ktorý nám aj dal závdavok Ducha.

⁵And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

⁶Preto teda vždycky dôverujeme a vieme, že kým sme doma v tele, sme von od domova a vzdialení od Pána.

⁶having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, —

⁷Lebo chodíme vierou a nie videním.

⁷for through faith we walk, not through sight —

⁸Ale dôverujeme i súčasne volíme radšej vystehovať sa von z tela a bývať doma u Pána.

⁸we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁹A preto sa aj všemožne snažíme, aby sme, buď že dlejeme doma v tele buď že sme von z domova, jemu sa ľúbili.

⁹Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

¹⁰Lebo my všetci sa musíme ukázať pred súdnou stolicou Kristovou, aby si jeden každý odniesol to, čo načo vykonal skrze telo, už či bolo dobré či zlé.

¹⁰for 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;

¹¹Znajúc tedy bázeň Pánovu presviedčame ľudí a Bohu sme zjavní. Ale nadejem sa, že sme aj vo vašich svedomiach zjavní.

¹¹having 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;

¹²Lebo neodporúčame vám opät sami seba, ale vám dávame príčinu chváliť sa nami, aby ste to mali proti tým, ktorí sa chvália tvárou a nie srdcom.

¹²for 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;

¹³Lebo buď že sme pošli z umu - Bohu, buď že sme pri zdravom rozume - vám.

¹³for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind — [it is] to you,

¹⁴Lebo láska Kristova nás núti,

¹⁴for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

¹⁵ktorí sme usúdili toto: že ak jeden zomrel za všetkých, tedy všetci zomreli, a za všetkých zomrel preto, aby tí, ktorí žijú, nežili už viacej sebe, ale tomu, ktorý zomrel za nich i vstal z mŕtvych.

¹⁵and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

¹⁶A tak my už odteraz neznáme nikoho podľa tela. A jestli sme aj poznali Krista podľa tela, ale teraz už viacej neznáme.

¹⁶So 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;

¹⁷Takže ak je niekto v Kristovi, je novým stvorením; drievne pominulo, hľa, všetko je nové.

¹⁷so 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.

¹⁸Ale to všetko z Boha, ktorý nás smieril sám so sebou skrze Ježiša Krista a dal nám službu smierenia,

¹⁸And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

¹⁹jako že Bôh bol v Kristovi mieriac so sebou svet, nepočítajúc im ich hriechov a položil do nás slovo smierenia.

¹⁹how 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,

²⁰Tedy za Krista posolstvujeme, jako čo by sám Bôh napomínal skrze nás, prosíme za Krista, smierte sa s Bohom!

²⁰in 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;`

²¹Lebo toho, ktorý nepoznal hriechu, učinil za nás hriechom, aby sme my boli spravedlivosťou Božou v ňom.

²¹for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
