KJV_Strong : 2 Corinthians 5
1. For[G1063] we know[G1492] that[G3754] if[G1437] our[G2257] earthly[G1919] house[G3614] of this tabernacle[G4636] were dissolved,[G2647] we have[G2192] a building[G3619] of[G1537] God,[G2316] a house[G3614] not made with hands,[G886] eternal[G166] in[G1722] the[G3588] heavens.[G3772]
2. For[G1063] in[G1722] this[G5129] we[G2532] groan,[G4727] earnestly desiring[G1971] to be clothed upon[G1902] with our[G2257] house[G3613] which[G3588] is from[G1537] heaven: [G3772]
3. If so be[G1489] that[G2532] being clothed[G1746] we shall not[G3756] be found[G2147] naked.[G1131]
4. For[G1063] [G2532] we that are[G5607] in[G1722] this tabernacle[G4636] do groan,[G4727] being burdened:[G916] not[G3756] for that[G1909] [G3739] we would[G2309] be unclothed,[G1562] but[G235] clothed upon,[G1902] that[G2443] mortality[G2349] might be swallowed up[G2666] of[G5259] life.[G2222]
5. Now[G1161] he that hath wrought[G2716] us[G2248] for[G1519] the selfsame thing[G846] [G5124] is God,[G2316] who also hath given[G1325] [G2532] unto us[G2254] the[G3588] earnest[G728] of the[G3588] Spirit.[G4151]
6. Therefore[G3767] we are always[G3842] confident,[G2292] knowing[G1492] that,[G3754] whilst we are at home[G1736] in[G1722] the[G3588] body,[G4983] we are absent[G1553] from[G575] the[G3588] Lord: [G2962]
7. (For[G1063] we walk[G4043] by[G1223] faith,[G4102] not[G3756] by[G1223] sight: )[G1491]
8. [G1161] We are confident,[G2292] I say, and[G2532] willing[G2106] rather[G3123] to be absent[G1553] from[G1537] the[G3588] body,[G4983] and[G2532] to be present[G1736] with[G4314] the[G3588] Lord.[G2962]
9. Wherefore[G1352] we[G2532] labor,[G5389] that, whether[G1535] present[G1736] or[G1535] absent,[G1553] we may be[G1511] accepted[G2101] of him.[G846]
10. For[G1063] we[G2248] must[G1163] all[G3956] appear[G5319] before[G1715] the[G3588] judgment seat[G968] of Christ;[G5547] that[G2443] every one[G1538] may receive[G2865] the things[G3588] done in[G1223] his body,[G4983] according[G4314] to that[G3739] he hath done,[G4238] whether[G1535] it be good[G18] or[G1535] bad.[G2556]
11. Knowing[G1492] therefore[G3767] the[G3588] terror[G5401] of the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] we persuade[G3982] men;[G444] but[G1161] we are made manifest[G5319] unto God;[G2316] and[G1161] I trust[G1679] also[G2532] are made manifest[G5319] in[G1722] your[G5216] consciences.[G4893]
12. For[G1063] we commend[G4921] not[G3756] ourselves[G1438] again[G3825] unto you,[G5213] but[G235] give[G1325] you[G5213] occasion[G874] to glory[G2745] on our behalf,[G5228] [G2257] that[G2443] ye may have[G2192] somewhat to[G4314] answer them which glory[G2744] in[G1722] appearance,[G4383] and[G2532] not[G3756] in heart.[G2588]
13. For[G1063] whether[G1535] we be beside ourselves,[G1839] it is to God:[G2316] or whether[G1535] we be sober,[G4993] it is for your cause.[G5213]
14. For[G1063] the[G3588] love[G26] of Christ[G5547] constraineth[G4912] us;[G2248] because we thus[G5124] judge,[G2919] that[G3754] if[G1487] one[G1520] died[G599] for[G5228] all,[G3956] then[G686] were all dead:[G599] [G3956]
15. And[G2532] that he died[G599] for[G5228] all,[G3956] that[G2443] they which live[G2198] should not henceforth[G3371] live[G2198] unto themselves,[G1438] but[G235] unto him which died[G599] for[G5228] them,[G846] and[G2532] rose again.[G1453]
16. Wherefore[G5620] henceforth[G575] [G3568] know[G1492] we[G2249] no man[G3762] after[G2596] the flesh:[G4561] yea,[G1161] though[G1499] we have known[G1097] Christ[G5547] after[G2596] the flesh,[G4561] yet[G235] now[G3568] henceforth know[G1097] we him no more.[G3765]
17. Therefore[G5620] if any man[G1536] be in[G1722] Christ,[G5547] he is a new[G2537] creature:[G2937] old things[G744] are passed away;[G3928] behold,[G2400] all things[G3956] are become[G1096] new.[G2537]
18. And[G1161] all things[G3956] are of[G1537] God,[G2316] who hath reconciled[G2644] us[G2248] to himself[G1438] by[G1223] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] and[G2532] hath given[G1325] to us[G2254] the[G3588] ministry[G1248] of reconciliation;[G2643]
19. To wit,[G5613] that[G3754] God[G2316] was[G2258] in[G1722] Christ,[G5547] reconciling[G2644] the world[G2889] unto himself,[G1438] not[G3361] imputing[G3049] their[G846] trespasses[G3900] unto them;[G846] and[G2532] hath committed[G5087] unto[G1722] us[G2254] the[G3588] word[G3056] of reconciliation.[G2643]
20. Now then[G3767] we are ambassadors[G4243] for[G5228] Christ,[G5547] as though[G5613] God[G2316] did beseech[G3870] you by[G1223] us;[G2257] we pray[G1189] you in Christ's stead,[G5228] [G5547] be ye reconciled[G2644] to God.[G2316]
21. For[G1063] he hath made[G4160] him to be sin[G266] for[G5228] us,[G2257] who knew[G1097] no[G3361] sin;[G266] that[G2443] we[G2249] might be made[G1096] the righteousness[G1343] of God[G2316] in[G1722] him.[G846]
