5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this]
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house
not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed
upon with our house which is from heaven:
5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
5:4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being
burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon,
that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is]
God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
5:6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst
we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be
absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we
may be accepted of him.
5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of
Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his]
body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or
bad.
5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade
men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are
made manifest in your consciences.
5:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give
you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat
to [answer] them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or
whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.
5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus
judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
5:15 And [that] he died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died
for them, and rose again.
5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:
yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now
henceforth know we [him] no more.
5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new.
5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to
himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation;
5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world
unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
