2 Corinthiens - Caput 5

2 Corinthiens 5.1 scimus enim quoniam si terrestris domus nostra huius habitationis dissolvatur quod aedificationem ex Deo habeamus domum non manufactam aeternam in caelis 2 Corinthiens 5.2 nam et in hoc ingemescimus habitationem nostram quae de caelo est superindui cupientes 2 Corinthiens 5.3 si tamen vestiti non nudi inveniamur 2 Corinthiens 5.4 nam et qui sumus in tabernaculo ingemescimus gravati eo quod nolumus expoliari sed supervestiri ut absorbeatur quod mortale est a vita 2 Corinthiens 5.5 qui autem efficit nos in hoc ipsum Deus qui dedit nobis pignus Spiritus 2 Corinthiens 5.6 audentes igitur semper et scientes quoniam dum sumus in corpore peregrinamur a Domino 2 Corinthiens 5.7 per fidem enim ambulamus et non per speciem 2 Corinthiens 5.8 audemus autem et bonam voluntatem habemus magis peregrinari a corpore et praesentes esse ad Deum 2 Corinthiens 5.9 et ideo contendimus sive absentes sive praesentes placere illi 2 Corinthiens 5.10 omnes enim nos manifestari oportet ante tribunal Christi ut referat unusquisque propria corporis prout gessit sive bonum sive malum 2 Corinthiens 5.11 scientes ergo timorem Domini hominibus suademus Deo autem manifesti sumus spero autem et in conscientiis vestris manifestos nos esse 2 Corinthiens 5.12 non iterum nos commendamus vobis sed occasionem damus vobis gloriandi pro nobis ut habeatis ad eos qui in facie gloriantur et non in corde 2 Corinthiens 5.13 sive enim mente excedimus Deo sive sobrii sumus vobis 2 Corinthiens 5.14 caritas enim Christi urget nos aestimantes hoc quoniam si unus pro omnibus mortuus est ergo omnes mortui sunt 2 Corinthiens 5.15 et pro omnibus mortuus est ut et qui vivunt iam non sibi vivant sed ei qui pro ipsis mortuus est et resurrexit 2 Corinthiens 5.16 itaque nos ex hoc neminem novimus secundum carnem et si cognovimus secundum carnem Christum sed nunc iam non novimus 2 Corinthiens 5.17 si qua ergo in Christo nova creatura vetera transierunt ecce facta sunt nova 2 Corinthiens 5.18 omnia autem ex Deo qui reconciliavit nos sibi per Christum et dedit nobis ministerium reconciliationis 2 Corinthiens 5.19 quoniam quidem Deus erat in Christo mundum reconcilians sibi non reputans illis delicta ipsorum et posuit in nobis verbum reconciliationis 2 Corinthiens 5.20 pro Christo ergo legationem fungimur tamquam Deo exhortante per nos obsecramus pro Christo reconciliamini Deo 2 Corinthiens 5.21 eum qui non noverat peccatum pro nobis peccatum fecit ut nos efficeremur iustitia Dei in ipso

2 Corinthiens : Caput 5

The New Creation in Christ

Chapter 5 of the Second Letter to the Corinthians evokes the new creation in Christ. This profound passage invites us to reflect on the apostle Paul's motivations in his ministry, highlighting essential themes such as the hope of the resurrection, future judgment, and reconciliation with God. Paul emphasizes the importance of living by faith and accepting our new nature in Christ, while calling us to be ambassadors for our Savior.

A Meditation on Bible Passages

We invite you to meditate on five biblical passages that illuminate the transformative principles of this foundational chapter.

Philippians 1:23-24

"I am pressed on both sides: I want to be with Christ, which is much better; but it is more necessary for your good that I remain in the body." This passage illustrates Paul's deep desire to be in the Lord's presence, a sentiment he also shares in 2 Corinthians 5:8.

Romans 14:10

"Then why do you judge your brother? And why do you despise your brother? For we will all appear before the judgment seat of God." This verse resonates with Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 5:10, emphasizing the reality of judgment before the judgment seat of Christ.

Galatians 6:15

"It matters not whether one is circumcised or not. What matters is whether one is a new creation." This passage complements Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 5:17 about the importance of being a new creation in Christ.

Colossians 1:19-20

"For it pleased God that in him all the fullness should dwell, and through him be reconciled all things, both on earth and in heaven, making peace through his blood shed on the cross." This excerpt enriches Paul's reflection on reconciliation, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:18-21. 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you were healed. This verse echoes Paul's statement in 2 target="_blank">Corinthians 5:21, where he emphasizes that Christ became sin for us.

Meditating on these passages, we are called to embrace our identity in Christ and live as ambassadors of divine love and reconciliation.
