2 Corinthians

Chapter 5

1 For1063 we know1492 that3754 if1437 our2257 earthly1919 house3614 of this tabernacle4636 were dissolved,2647 we have2192 a building3619 of1537 God,2316 a house3614 not made with hands,886 eternal166 in1722 the3588 heavens.3772

2 For1063 in1722 this5129 we2532 groan,4727 earnestly desiring1971 to be clothed upon1902 with our2257 house3613 which3588 is from1537 heaven: 3772

3 If so be1489 that2532 being clothed1746 we shall not3756 be found2147 naked.1131

4 For1063 2532 we that are5607 in1722 this tabernacle4636 do groan,4727 being burdened:916 not3756 for that1909 3739 we would2309 be unclothed,1562 but235 clothed upon,1902 that2443 mortality2349 might be swallowed up2666 of5259 life.2222

5 Now1161 he that hath wrought2716 us2248 for1519 the selfsame thing846 5124 is God,2316 who also hath given1325 2532 unto us2254 the3588 earnest728 of the3588 Spirit.4151

6 Therefore3767 we are always3842 confident,2292 knowing1492 that,3754 whilst we are at home1736 in1722 the3588 body,4983 we are absent1553 from575 the3588 Lord: 2962

7 (For1063 we walk4043 by1223 faith,4102 not3756 by1223 sight: )1491

8 1161 We are confident,2292 I say, and2532 willing2106 rather3123 to be absent1553 from1537 the3588 body,4983 and2532 to be present1736 with4314 the3588 Lord.2962

9 Wherefore1352 we2532 labor,5389 that, whether1535 present1736 or1535 absent,1553 we may be1511 accepted2101 of him.846

10 For1063 we2248 must1163 all3956 appear5319 before1715 the3588 judgment seat968 of Christ;5547 that2443 every one1538 may receive2865 the things3588 done in1223 his body,4983 according4314 to that3739 he hath done,4238 whether1535 it be good18 or1535 bad.2556

11 Knowing1492 therefore3767 the3588 terror5401 of the3588 Lord,2962 we persuade3982 men;444 but1161 we are made manifest5319 unto God;2316 and1161 I trust1679 also2532 are made manifest5319 in1722 your5216 consciences.4893

12 For1063 we commend4921 not3756 ourselves1438 again3825 unto you,5213 but235 give1325 you5213 occasion874 to glory2745 on our behalf,5228 2257 that2443 ye may have2192 somewhat to4314 answer them which glory2744 in1722 appearance,4383 and2532 not3756 in heart.2588

13 For1063 whether1535 we be beside ourselves,1839 it is to God:2316 or whether1535 we be sober,4993 it is for your cause.5213

14 For1063 the3588 love26 of Christ5547 constraineth4912 us;2248 because we thus5124 judge,2919 that3754 if1487 one1520 died599 for5228 all,3956 then686 were all dead:599 3956

15 And2532 that he died599 for5228 all,3956 that2443 they which live2198 should not henceforth3371 live2198 unto themselves,1438 but235 unto him which died599 for5228 them,846 and2532 rose again.1453

16 Wherefore5620 henceforth575 3568 know1492 we2249 no man3762 after2596 the flesh:4561 yea,1161 though1499 we have known1097 Christ5547 after2596 the flesh,4561 yet235 now3568 henceforth know1097 we him no more.3765

17 Therefore5620 if any man1536 be in1722 Christ,5547 he is a new2537 creature:2937 old things744 are passed away;3928 behold,2400 all things3956 are become1096 new.2537

18 And1161 all things3956 are of1537 God,2316 who hath reconciled2644 us2248 to himself1438 by1223 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and2532 hath given1325 to us2254 the3588 ministry1248 of reconciliation;2643

19 To wit,5613 that3754 God2316 was2258 in1722 Christ,5547 reconciling2644 the world2889 unto himself,1438 not3361 imputing3049 their846 trespasses3900 unto them;846 and2532 hath committed5087 unto1722 us2254 the3588 word3056 of reconciliation.2643

20 Now then3767 we are ambassadors4243 for5228 Christ,5547 as though5613 God2316 did beseech3870 you by1223 us;2257 we pray1189 you in Christ's stead,5228 5547 be ye reconciled2644 to God.2316

21 For1063 he hath made4160 him to be sin266 for5228 us,2257 who knew1097 no3361 sin;266 that2443 we2249 might be made1096 the righteousness1343 of God2316 in1722 him.846

2 Corinthians

Chapter 5

1 FOR we know that if our earthly house were destroyed, we still have a building made by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

2 We also weary over this earthly house, earnestly longing to use our house which is in heaven.

3 If not so, even when we are clothed, we will still be naked.

4 While we are in this earthly house, we groan because of its weight: yet we are unwilling to leave it, but rather wish to add to it, so that death will be overcome by life.

5 Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given to us the pledge of his Spirit.

6 Therefore we know and are convinced, that so long as we dwell in the body, we are absent from our LORD.

7 For we walk by faith, and not by sight.

8 This is why we are confident, and anxious to be absent from the body, and to be present with our LORD.

9 Wherefore we endeavor, that, whether present or absent, we may be pleasing to him.

10 For we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may be rewarded according to that which he has done with his body, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the fear of our LORD, we try in a persuasive way to win men; so we are very well understood by God; and I trust we are also understood by you.

12 We are not boasting of ourselves to you, but we give you occasion to be proud of us, before those who glory as hypocrites but who are not sincere in heart.

13 For if we go wrong, we answer to God, and if we go straight, it is for you.

14 For the love of Christ compels us to reason thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 And that he died for all, that those who live may not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.

16 And now from henceforth we do not know any one in the body: even though once we had known Christ in the body, we no longer know him now.

17 Whoever from now on is a follower of Christ, is a new creation: old things have passed away;

18 And all things have become new through God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 For God was in Christ, who has reconciled the world with his majesty, not counting their sins against them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we beseech you for Christ; be reconciled to God.

21 For he who did not know sin, for your sakes he made him sin, that we may through him be made the righteousness of God.

15 And2532 that he died599 for5228 all,3956 that2443 they which live2198 should not henceforth3371 live2198 unto themselves,1438 but235 unto him which died599 for5228 them,846 and2532 rose again.1453

15 And that he died for all, that those who live may not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.

16 Wherefore5620 henceforth575 3568 know1492 we2249 no man3762 after2596 the flesh:4561 yea,1161 though1499 we have known1097 Christ5547 after2596 the flesh,4561 yet235 now3568 henceforth know1097 we him no more.3765

16 And now from henceforth we do not know any one in the body: even though once we had known Christ in the body, we no longer know him now.

17 Therefore5620 if any man1536 be in1722 Christ,5547 he is a new2537 creature:2937 old things744 are passed away;3928 behold,2400 all things3956 are become1096 new.2537

17 Whoever from now on is a follower of Christ, is a new creation: old things have passed away;

18 And1161 all things3956 are of1537 God,2316 who hath reconciled2644 us2248 to himself1438 by1223 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and2532 hath given1325 to us2254 the3588 ministry1248 of reconciliation;2643

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we beseech you for Christ; be reconciled to God.

21 For1063 he hath made4160 him to be sin266 for5228 us,2257 who knew1097 no3361 sin;266 that2443 we2249 might be made1096 the righteousness1343 of God2316 in1722 him.846

21 For he who did not know sin, for your sakes he made him sin, that we may through him be made the righteousness of God.
