2Corinthians:5:8-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We are confident (
5719 ),
I say ,
and willing (
5719 )
rather to be absent (
5658 )
from the body ,
and to be present (
5658 )
with the Lord .
*
Wherefore we labour (
5736 ),
that ,
whether present (
5723 )
or absent (
5723 ),
we may be (
5750 )
accepted of him .
*
For we must (
5748 )
all appear (
5683 )
before the judgment seat of Christ ;
that every one may receive (
5672 )
the things done in his body ,
according to that he hath done (
5656 ),
whether it be good or bad .
*
Knowing (
5761 )
therefore the terror of the Lord ,
we persuade (
5719 )
men ;
but we are made manifest (
5769 )
unto God ;
and I trust (
5719 )
also are made manifest (
5771 )
in your consciences .
*
For we commend (
5719 )
not ourselves again unto you ,
but give (
5723 )
you occasion to glory on our behalf ,
that ye may have (
5725 )
somewhat to answer them which glory (
5740 )
in appearance ,
and not in heart .
*
For whether we be beside ourselves (
5627 ),
it is to God :
or whether we be sober (
5719 ),
it is for your cause .
*
For the love of Christ constraineth (
5719 )
us ;
because we thus judge (
5660 ),
that if one died (
5627 )
for all ,
then were all dead (
5627 ):
*
And that he died (
5627 )
for all ,
that they which live (
5723 )
should not henceforth live (
5725 )
unto themselves ,
but unto him which died (
5631 )
for them ,
and rose again (
5685 ).
*
Wherefore henceforth know (
5758 )
we no man after the flesh :
yea ,
though we have known (
5758 )
Christ after the flesh ,
yet now henceforth know we (
5719 )
him no more .
*
Therefore if any man be in Christ ,
he is a new creature :
old things are passed away (
5627 );
behold (
5628 ),
all things are become (
5754 )
new .
*
And all things are of God ,
who hath reconciled (
5660 )
us to himself by Jesus Christ ,
and hath given (
5631 )
to us the ministry of reconciliation ;
*
To wit ,
that God was (
5713 )
in Christ ,
reconciling (
5723 )
the world unto himself ,
not imputing (
5740 )
their trespasses unto them ;
and hath committed (
5642 )
unto us the word of reconciliation .
*
Now then we are ambassadors (
5719 )
for Christ ,
as though God did beseech (
5723 )
you by us :
we pray (
5736 )
you in Christs stead ,
be ye reconciled (
5649 )
to God .
