2 Corinthians 5

The Temporal and Eternal

1For we knowG3609 that ifG1437 our 12earthlyG1919 3tentG4636 which is our houseG3624 is tornG2647 downG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 from GodG2316, a houseG3624 4notG886 madeG886 byG886 handsG886, eternalG166 in the heavensG3772. 2For indeedG2532, in thisG3778 tent we 5groanG4727, longingG1971 to be 6clothedG1902 with our 7dwellingG3613 from heavenG3772, 3sinceG1512 inG2532 factG2532 after puttingG1746 it on, we will not be foundG2147 nakedG1131. 4For indeedG2532, we who are in thisG3588 tentG4636 8groanG4727, being burdenedG916, becauseG1909G3739 we do not wantG2309 to be unclothedG1562 but to be 9clothedG1902, soG2443 thatG2443 whatG3588 is 10mortalG2349 will be swallowedG2666 upG2666 by lifeG2222. 5NowG1161 He who preparedG2716 us for thisG3778 veryG846 purpose is GodG2316, who 11gaveG1325 us the SpiritG4151 as a 12pledgeG728.

6ThereforeG3767, beingG2292 alwaysG3842 ofG2292 goodG2292 courageG2292, and knowingG3609 that 13while we areG1736 atG1736 homeG1736 in the bodyG4983 we are absentG1553 from the LordG2962-- 7for 14we walkG4043 by faithG4102, not by 15sightG1491-- 8but we areG2292 ofG2292 goodG2292 courageG2292 and 16preferG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 from the bodyG4983 and 17to beG1736 atG1736 homeG1736 with the LordG2962. 9ThereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 haveG5389 asG5389 our ambitionG5389, whetherG1535 atG1736 homeG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, to be 18pleasingG2101 to Him. 10For we mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 19the judgmentG968 seatG968 of ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 eachG1538 oneG1538 may receiveG2865 compensationG2865 for 20his deedsG3588 done through the bodyG4983, inG4314 accordanceG4314 withG4314 whatG3739 he has doneG4238, whetherG1535 goodG18 orG1535 badG2556.

11ThereforeG3767, knowingG3609 the 21fearG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 peopleG444, but we are wellG5319 knownG5319 to GodG2316; and I hopeG1679 that we are alsoG2532 22wellG5319 knownG5319 in your consciencesG4893. 12We are not commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you 23againG3825, but are givingG1325 you an 24opportunityG874 toG2745 beG2745 proudG2745 of us, soG2443 thatG2443 you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588. 13For ifG1535 we have 25lostG1839 our mindsG1839, 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 thatG2443 thoseG3588 who liveG2198 would noG3371 longerG3371 28liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 onG5228 their behalfG5228.

16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 2930by the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 by the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 31in ChristG5547, this person is 32a newG2537 33creationG2937; 34the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096. 18NowG1161 35allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 36whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 37ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 38GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 39not countingG3049 their wrongdoingsG3900 against them, and 40He has 41committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20ThereforeG3767, we areG4243 42ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 43asG5613 thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 anG3870 appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you onG5228 behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 44reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21He madeG4160 Him who 45knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266 to be 4647sinG266 inG5228 our behalfG5228, soG2443 thatG2443 we might becomeG1096 the 48righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in Him.
