2 Corinthians 5

1ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG1473 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 ofG1537 this tabernacleG3588G4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 of GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG886, eternalG166 inG1722 the heavensG3588G3772. 2ForG1063 inG1722 thisG3778 we groanG4727, earnestly desiringG1971 to be clothed uponG1902 with ourG1473 houseG3588G3613 which is fromG1537 heavenG3772: 3IfG1489 so be thatG2532 being clothedG1746 we shallG2147 notG3756 be foundG2147 nakedG1131. 4ForG2532G1063 we that areG3588G1510 inG1722 this tabernacleG3588G4636 do groanG4727, being burdenedG916: notG3756 forG1909 thatG3739 we wouldG2309 be unclothedG1562, butG235 clothed uponG1902, thatG2443 mortalityG3588G2349 might be swallowed upG2666 ofG5259 lifeG3588G2222. 5NowG1161 he thatG3588 hath wroughtG2716 usG1473 forG1519 the selfsameG846 thingG3778 is GodG2316, whoG3588 alsoG2532 hath givenG1325 unto usG1473 the earnestG3588G728 of the SpiritG3588G4151. 6ThereforeG3767 we are alwaysG3842 confidentG2292, knowingG1492 thatG3754, whilstG2532 we are at homeG1736 inG1722 the bodyG3588G4983, we are absentG1553 fromG575 the LordG3588G2962: 7(ForG1063 we walkG4043 byG1223 faithG4102, notG3756 byG1223 sightG1491:) 8We are confidentG2292, I say, andG2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG3588G2962. 9WhereforeG1352 we labourG5389, thatG2532, whetherG1535 presentG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, we may beG1510 acceptedG2101 of himG846. 10

ForG1063 weG1473 mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 the judgment seatG3588G968 of ChristG3588G5547; thatG2443 every oneG1538 may receiveG2865 the thingsG3588 done inG1223 his bodyG3588G4983, accordingG4314 to thatG3739 he hath doneG4238, whetherG1535 it be goodG18 orG1535 badG2556. 11KnowingG1492 thereforeG3767 the terrorG3588G5401 of the LordG3588G2962, we persuadeG3982 menG444; butG1161 we are made manifestG5319 unto GodG2316; andG1161 I trustG1679 alsoG2532 are made manifestG5319 inG1722 yourG4771 consciencesG3588G4893.

12ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG4771, butG235 giveG1325 youG4771 occasionG874 to gloryG2745 on ourG1473 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer themG3588 which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. 13ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG4771. 14

ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG3588G5547 constrainethG4912 usG1473; becauseG3778 we thus judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599: 15AndG2532 that he diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 theyG3588 which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto himG3588 which diedG599 forG5228 themG846, andG2532 rose againG1453. 16WhereforeG5620 henceforthG3568 knowG1492 weG1473 no manG3762 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: yeaG1161, thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, yetG235 now henceforthG3568 know weG1097 him no moreG3765. 17

ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 any manG5100 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG3708, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. 18AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG1473 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG1473 the ministryG3588G1248 of reconciliationG3588G2643; 19To witG5613, thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG1510 inG1722 Christ, reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 unto himselfG1438, notG3361 imputingG3049 theirG846 trespassesG3588G3900 unto themG846; andG2532 hath committedG5087 untoG1722 usG1473 the wordG3588G3056 of reconciliationG3588G2643.

20Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG3588G2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG1473: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ’s steadG5547, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG3588G2316. 21ForG1063 he hath made himG4160 to be sinG266 forG5228 usG1473, who knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG1473 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
