2 Corinthians 5

The Temporal and Eternal

1For we knowG3609 that ifG1437 1the 2earthlyG1919 3tentG4636 which is our houseG3624 is tornG2647 downG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 from GodG2316, a houseG3624 4not madeG886 with handsG886, eternalG166 in the heavensG3772. 2For indeedG2532 in thisG3778 house we 5groanG4727, longingG1971 to be 6clothedG1902 with our dwellingG3613 from heavenG3772, 3inasmuchG1489 as we, having putG1746 it on, will not be foundG2147 nakedG1131. 4For indeedG2532 while we are in thisG3588 tentG4636, we 7groanG4727, being burdenedG916, becauseG1909G3739 we do not wantG2309 to be unclothedG1562 but to be 8clothedG1902, soG2443 that whatG2349 is 9mortalG2349 will be swallowedG2666 up by lifeG2222. 5NowG1161 He who preparedG2716 us for thisG3778 veryG846 purpose is GodG2316, who 10gaveG1325 to us the SpiritG4151 as a 11pledgeG728.

6ThereforeG3767, being alwaysG3842 of goodG2292 courageG2292, and knowingG3609 that 12while we are at homeG1736 in the bodyG4983 we are absentG1553 from the LordG2962-- 7for 13we walkG4043 by faithG4102, not by 14sightG1491-- 8we are of goodG2292 courageG2292, I say, and 15preferG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 from the bodyG4983 and 16to be at homeG1736 with the LordG2962. 9ThereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 haveG5389 as our ambitionG5389, whetherG1535 at homeG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, to be 17pleasingG2101 to Him. 10For we mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 18the judgmentG968 seatG968 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that eachG1538 oneG1538 may be recompensedG2865 for 19his deeds in the bodyG4983, accordingG4314 to whatG3739 he has doneG4238, whetherG1535 goodG18 orG1535 badG5337.

11ThereforeG3767, knowingG3609 the 20fearG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 menG444, but we are madeG5319 manifestG5319 to GodG2316; and I hopeG1679 that we are 21madeG5319 manifestG5319 alsoG2532 in your consciencesG4893. 12We are not 22againG3825 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you but are givingG1325 you an 23occasionG874 to be proudG2745 of us, soG2443 that you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588. 13For ifG1535 we 24are 25besideG1839 ourselvesG1839, it is for GodG2316; ifG1535 we are of soundG4993 mindG4993, it is for you. 14For the loveG26 of ChristG5547 26controlsG4912 us, having concludedG2919 thisG3778, that 27oneG1520 diedG599 for allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599; 15and He diedG599 for allG3956, soG2443 that they who liveG2198 might noG3371 longerG3371 28liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 againG1453 on their behalfG5228.

16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 2930accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 31accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 32in ChristG5547, 33he is 34a newG2537 creatureG2937; 35the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096. 18NowG1161 36allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 37whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 38ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 39GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 40not countingG3049 their trespassesG3900 against them, and 41He has 42committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20ThereforeG3767, we are 43ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 44as thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 an appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 45reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21He madeG4160 Him who 46knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266 to be 47sinG266 on our behalfG5228, soG2443 that we might becomeG1096 the 48righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in Him.
