2Corinthians:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For we know (
5758 )
that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved (
5686 ),
we have (
5719 )
a building of God ,
an house not made with hands ,
eternal in the heavens .
*
For in this we groan (
5719 ),
earnestly desiring (
5723 )
to be clothed upon (
5670 )
with our house which is from heaven :
*
If so be that being clothed (
5671 )
we shall not be found (
5701 )
naked .
*
For we that are (
5752 )
in this tabernacle do groan (
5719 ),
being burdened (
5746 ):
not for that we would (
5719 )
be unclothed (
5670 ),
but clothed upon (
5670 ),
that mortality might be swallowed up (
5686 )
of life .
*
Now he that hath wrought (
5666 )
us for the selfsame thing is God ,
who also hath given (
5631 )
unto us the earnest of the Spirit .
*
Therefore we are always confident (
5723 ),
knowing (
5761 )
that ,
whilst we are at home (
5723 )
in the body ,
we are absent (
5719 )
from the Lord :
* (
For we walk (
5719 )
by faith ,
not by sight :)
*
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 .
*
For he hath made (
5656 )
him to be sin for us ,
who knew (
5631 )
no sin ;
that we might be made (
5741 )
the righteousness of God in him .
