riversident - 2Corinthians:5:1-10

riversident@2Corinthians:5:1 @ FOR we know that if this tent, our earthly home, is thrown down, we have a building of God, a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we sigh in earnest desire to put on our dwelling that comes from heaven,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:3 @ since if we put that on we shall not be found naked.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent we sigh being burdened, not that we wish to be unclothed, but to put on the other, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, and he has given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So being always of good courage and knowing that while living at home in the body we are living in a foreign land away from the Lord \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:8 @ I say we are of good courage and wish rather to live in the land foreign to the body and be at home with the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore also we are ambitious to be pleasing to him, whether at home with him or in this foreign land.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.
