2 Corinthians - Chapter: 5
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. |
5:1 | For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. |
5:2 | For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen. |
5:3 | Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked. |
5:4 | For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life. |
5:5 | And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit. |
5:6 | Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord. |
5:7 | (For we walke by faith, and not by sight.) |
5:8 | Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord. |
5:9 | Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him. |
5:10 | For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill. |
5:11 | Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences. |
5:12 | For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart. |
5:13 | For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you. |
5:14 | For that loue of Christ constraineth vs, |
5:15 | Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe. |
5:16 | Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more. |
5:17 | Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe. |
5:18 | And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation. |
5:19 | For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation. |
5:20 | Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God. |
5:21 | For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him. |
5:1 | We knowe suerly yf oure erthy mancion wherin we now dwell were destroyed that we have a bildinge ordeyned of god an habitacion not made with hondes but eternall in heve. |
5:2 | And herefore sigh we desyringe to be clothed wt oure mansion which is from heven: |
5:3 | so yet if that we be founde clothed and not naked. |
5:4 | For as longe as we are in this tabernacle we sigh and are greved for we wold not be vnclothed but wolde be clothed apon that mortalite myght be swalowed vp of lyfe. |
5:5 | He that hath ordeyned vs for this thynge ys god which very same hath geven vnto vs the ernest of the sprete. |
5:6 | Therfore we are alwaye of good chere and knowe well that as longe as we are at home in the body we are absent from God. |
5:7 | For we walke in fayth and se not. |
5:8 | Neverthelesse we are of good comforte and had lever to be absent from the body and to be present with the lorde. |
5:9 | Wherfore whether we be at home or from home we endeuoure oure selves to please him. |
5:10 | For we must all appere before the iudgement seate of Christ that every man maye receave the workes of his body accordynge to that he hath done whether it be good or bad? |
5:11 | Seynge then that we knowe how the lorde is to be feared we fare fayre with men. For we are knowen wel ynough vnto God. I trust also that we are knowen in youre consciences. |
5:12 | We prayse not oure selves agayne vnto you but geve you an occasion to reioyce of vs that ye maye have some what agaynst the whych reioyce in the face and not in the hert. |
5:13 | For yf we be to fervent to God are we to fervent. Yf we kepe measure for youre cause kepe we measure. |
5:14 | For the love of Christ costrayneth vs be cause we thus iudge yf one be deed for all yt then are all deed |
5:15 | and that he dyed for all that they which live shuld not hence forth live vnto them selves but vnto hym whith died for them and rose agayne. |
5:16 | Wherfore henceforth knowe we no man after the flesshe. In somoche though we have knowe Christ after the flesshe now hence forthe knowe we hym so no more. |
5:17 | Therfore yf eny man be in Christ he is a newe creature. Olde thynges are passed awaye beholde all thinges are be come newe. |
5:18 | Neverthelesse all thinges are of god which hath reconciled vs vnto him sylfe by Iesus Christ and hath geven vnto vs the office to preach the atonement. |
5:19 | For god was in Christ and made agrement bitwene the worlde and hym sylfe and imputed not their synnes vnto them: and hath comitted to vs the preachynge of ye atonmet. |
5:20 | Now then are we messengers in the roume of Christ: even as though God did beseche you thorow vs: So praye we you in Christes stede that ye be atone with God: |
5:21 | for he hath made him to be synne for vs which knewe no synne that we by his meanes shuld be that rightewesnes which before God is aloved. |
