Berean Standard Bible
For
we know that if the earthly house
of
our
tabernacle
be
dissolved
, we have a building from God, a
house not made
with
hands ,
eternal,
in
the
heavens
.
Now
we know that if the earthly tent
we
live
in
is
dismantled
, we have a building from God, an
eternal
house in
heaven,
not built
by
human
hands.
For verily
in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon
with our habitation
which
is
from
heaven:
For in this tent
we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly
dwelling,
if
so
be
that
being
clothed we shall
not be found naked.
because
when
we
are
clothed ,
we will
not be found naked.
For
indeed
we that
are in this tabernacle
do
groan, being
burdened;
not
for
that
we would
be unclothed ,
but that
we
would
be
clothed upon
, that what
is
mortal
may be swallowed up of
life.
So
while
we are in this tent,
we
groan under
our
burdens
, because
we do
not
wish
to
be unclothed but clothed, so
that our
mortality
may be swallowed up by
life.
Now
he
that
wrought
us for this very thing
is
God,
who
gave
unto
us the earnest
of
the
Spirit.
And
God
has
prepared
us for this very purpose
and
has
given
us the Spirit as
a
pledge
of
what
is
to
come
.
Being
therefore always of
good
courage
, and
knowing
that ,
whilst
we are at home in the body, we are absent
from the Lord
Therefore we
are
always confident
, although
we
know
that while
we are at home in the body, we are away
from the Lord .
(
for we walk by faith, not by sight );
For we walk by faith, not by sight .
we are of
good
courage
, I
say
, and are
willing
rather
to be absent
from the body ,
and to
be
at home with the Lord.
We are confident
, then
, and would
prefer
to be away
from the body and at home with the Lord.
Wherefore
also
we make
it
our
aim
, whether at
home
or absent,
to
be
well-pleasing
unto
him
.
So
we aspire
to
please
Him
, whether we
are
here
in
this
body
or away
from
it
.
For we must all be
made
manifest
before the judgment -
seat of Christ ;
that each one may receive the things `
done '
in the body, according
to
what
he
hath
done,
whether `it
be'
good or bad.
For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ ,
that each one may receive his
due
for
the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
Knowing
therefore the
fear of
the Lord, we persuade men ,
but
we are made
manifest
unto
God ;
and I hope that
we
are
made
manifest
also
in
your consciences
.
Therefore ,
since
we
know
what
it
means
to
fear the Lord, we try
to
persuade men .
What
we are is
clear
to
God ,
and I hope it
is
clear
to
your conscience
as
well
.
We are not again
commending ourselves unto
you, but
`speak'
as
giving you occasion of glorying
on
our
behalf
, that ye
may
have
wherewith
to
answer them
that
glory
in appearance,
and
not
in heart.
We are not commending ourselves to
you again.
Instead
, we
are
giving you an
occasion to
be
proud
of us
, so
that you
can
answer those
who
take
pride
in appearances
rather
than
in the
heart.
For
whether
we are beside
ourselves
, it is unto
God; or
whether
we are of sober
mind, it is unto
you.
If
we are out
of
our
mind
, it is for
God; if
we are of sound
mind, it is for
you.
For the
love of
Christ
constraineth
us ;
because we thus
judge,
that one died for all, therefore all died ;
For Christ’s
love compels
us ,
because we are
convinced
that One died for all, therefore all died .
and he died for all, that they
that
live should no longer live unto
themselves, but unto
him who for
their
sakes
died and rose
again.
And He died for all, that those
who
live should no longer live for
themselves, but for
Him who died for
them
and was
raised
again.
Wherefore
we henceforth
know
no man
after
the flesh :
even
though
we have
known
Christ after
the
flesh
, yet
now
we know
`him
so '
no more
.
So
from
now
on
we regard
no one
according
to
the flesh .
Although
we once
regarded
Christ in
this
way
, we do
so no longer
.
Wherefore
if any
man
is in Christ, `
he is '
a new creature:
the old things
are
passed away ;
behold, they
are
become
new .
Therefore
if anyone
is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has
passed away .
Behold, the
new has
come!
But
all things
are
of
God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ ,
and gave unto
us the ministry of reconciliation ;
All this
is
from
God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation :
to
wit,
that God was in
Christ
reconciling the world unto
himself, not reckoning
unto
them
their
trespasses ,
and having
committed unto
us the word
of reconciliation.
that God was reconciling the world to
Himself in
Christ
, not counting
men’s
trespasses against
them.
And He
has
committed to
us the message
of reconciliation.
We are ambassadors therefore
on
behalf
of
Christ, as though God were entreating
by
us :
we beseech
`
you '
on behalf of Christ ,
be ye
reconciled to God.
Therefore
we are ambassadors for
Christ, as though God were making
His
appeal
through
us .
We implore
you on behalf of Christ :
Be reconciled to God.
Him who knew no sin he
made
`
to be '
sin on our behalf ;
that we might become the righteousness of God in
him
.
God
made
Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf ,
so
that in
Him
we might become the righteousness of God.
