nasb @2Corinthians:5:1 @For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down , we have a building from God , a house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . nasb @2Corinthians:5:2 @For indeed in this house we groan , longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven , nasb @2Corinthians:5:3 @inasmuch as we , having put it on , will not be found naked . nasb @2Corinthians:5:4 @For indeed while we are in this tent , we groan , being burdened , because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed , so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life . nasb @2Corinthians:5:5 @Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God , who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge . nasb @2Corinthians:5:6 @Therefore , being always of good courage , and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord -- nasb @2Corinthians:5:7 @for we walk by faith , not by sight -- nasb @2Corinthians:5:8 @we are of good courage , I say , and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord . nasb @2Corinthians:5:9 @Therefore we also have as our ambition , whether at home or absent , to be pleasing to Him . nasb @2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ , so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body , according to what he has done , whether good or bad . nasb @2Corinthians:5:11 @Therefore , knowing the fear of the Lord , we persuade men , but we are made manifest to God ; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences . nasb @2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us , so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart . nasb @2Corinthians:5:13 @For if we are beside ourselves , it is for God ; if we are of sound mind , it is for you . nasb @2Corinthians:5:14 @For the love of Christ controls us , having concluded this , that one died for all , therefore all died ; nasb @2Corinthians:5:15 @and He died for all , so that they who live might no longer live for themselves , but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf . nasb @2Corinthians:5:16 @Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh ; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh , yet now we know Him in this way no longer . nasb @2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ , he is a new creature ; the old things passed away ; behold , new things have come . nasb @2Corinthians:5:18 @Now all these things are from God , who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation , nasb @2Corinthians:5:19 @namely , that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself , not counting their trespasses against them , and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation . nasb @2Corinthians:5:20 @Therefore , we are ambassadors for Christ , as though God were making an appeal through us ; we beg you on behalf of Christ , be reconciled to God . nasb @2Corinthians:5:21 @He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf , so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him .
