King James Version
For we know that if the
earthly house of our
tent
is
dissolved, we have a building from
God, a
house not made with hands, eternal ,
in the heavens.
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.
For most
assuredly
in this we groan, longing
to be clothed with our habitation
which is from heaven ;
For in this we groan, earnestly
desiring
to be clothed upon
with our house
which is from heaven :
if so be that being clothed we will
not be found naked.
If so be that being clothed we shall
not be found naked.
For indeed
we who
are in this tent
do groan, being burdened ;
not that we desire
to
be unclothed, but that
we
desire
to
be
clothed, that what
is
mortal
may
be swallowed up by
life.
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.
Now he who
made
us for this
very
thing is God, who also gave
to
us the down
payment
of the Spirit.
Now he that
hath
wrought
us for the
selfsame
thing is God, who also hath
given
unto
us the earnest
of the Spirit.
Being
therefore always of
good
courage
, and
knowing that, while
we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord ;
Therefore we
are
always confident
, knowing that, whilst
we are at home in the body, we are absent 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
, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.
Therefore
also
we make
it
our
aim
, whether at
home
or absent, to
be well
pleasing
to
him.
Wherefore
we labour
, that,
whether present
or absent, we
may
be accepted
of
him.
For we must all be
revealed
before the judgment seat of Christ; that each
one may receive the things in the
body, according to what
he has
done, whether good or bad.
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.
Knowing therefore the fear
of the Lord, we persuade men ,
but we are revealed
to
God; and I hope
that
we
are
revealed
also in your consciences.
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.
For we are
not commending
ourselves to
you
again, but speak
as
giving
you occasion of
boasting
on our behalf, that you
may have something
to answer those
who
boast
in appearance, and not in heart.
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.
For if
we are
beside ourselves, it is for
God .
Or if
we are
of
sober mind
, it is for you
.
For whether
we be
beside ourselves, it is to
God :
or whether
we be
sober, it is for your
cause
.
For the love of Christ constrains
us; because we judge
thus, that one died for all, therefore
all died.
For the love of Christ constraineth
us; because we thus judge
, that if
one died for all, then
were
all dead:
He died for all, that those
who
live should no
longer
live to
themselves, but to
him who
for
their
sakes
died and rose again.
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.
Therefore
we
know no one
after the flesh from
now
on.
Even
though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we
know him so
no more.
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.
Therefore if anyone
is
in Christ, he is a new creation.
The
old things have
passed away .
Behold, all things have
become new.
Therefore if any
man
be
in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are
passed away ;
behold, all things are
become new.
But
all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through
Jesus Christ, and gave
to us the ministry of reconciliation;
And
all things are of God, who hath
reconciled us to himself by
Jesus Christ, and hath
given
to us the ministry of reconciliation;
namely
, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
himself, not reckoning
to
them
their trespasses ,
and having
committed to
us the word of reconciliation.
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.
We are therefore
ambassadors on
behalf
of
Christ, as though God were
entreating
by us .
We beg
you on
behalf
of
Christ
, be reconciled to God.
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.
For him
who
knew
no
sin
he made to be sin on
our
behalf
; so
that in
him
we might become
the righteousness of God.
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
.
