1
For
we
know
that
if
our
earthly
house
of
[this]
tabernacle
were
dissolved,
we
have
a
building
of
God,
an
house
not
made
with
hands,
eternal
in
the
heavens.
2
For
in
this
we
groan,
earnestly
desiring
to
be
clothed
upon
with
our
house
which
is
from
heaven:
3
If
so
be
that
being
clothed
we
shall
not
be
found
naked.
4
For
we
that
are
in
[this]
tabernacle
do
groan,
being
burdened:
not
for
that
we
would
be
unclothed,
but
clothed
upon,
that
mortality
might
be
swallowed
up
of
life.
5
Now
he
that
hath
wrought
us
for
the
selfsame
thing
[is]
God,
who
also
hath
given
unto
us
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit.
6
Therefore
[we
are]
always
confident,
knowing
that,
whilst
we
are
at
home
in
the
body,
we
are
absent
from
the
Lord:
7
(For
we
walk
by
faith,
not
by
sight:)
8
We
are
confident,
[I
say],
and
willing
rather
to
be
absent
from
the
body,
and
to
be
present
with
the
Lord.
9
Wherefore
we
labour,
that,
whether
present
or
absent,
we
may
be
accepted
of
him.
10
For
we
must
all
appear
before
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ;
that
every
one
may
receive
the
things
[done]
in
[his]
body,
according
to
that
he
hath
done,
whether
[it
be]
good
or
bad.
11
Knowing
therefore
the
terror
of
the
Lord,
we
persuade
men;
but
we
are
made
manifest
unto
God;
and
I
trust
also
are
made
manifest
in
your
consciences.
12
For
we
commend
not
ourselves
again
unto
you,
but
give
you
occasion
to
glory
on
our
behalf,
that
ye
may
have
somewhat
to
[answer]
them
which
glory
in
appearance,
and
not
in
heart.
13
For
whether
we
be
beside
ourselves,
[it
is]
to
God:
or
whether
we
be
sober,
[it
is]
for
your
cause.
14
For
the
love
of
Christ
constraineth
us;
because
we
thus
judge,
that
if
one
died
for
all,
then
were
all
dead:
15
And
[that]
he
died
for
all,
that
they
which
live
should
not
henceforth
live
unto
themselves,
but
unto
him
which
died
for
them,
and
rose
again.
16
Wherefore
henceforth
know
we
no
man
after
the
flesh:
yea,
though
we
have
known
Christ
after
the
flesh,
yet
now
henceforth
know
we
[him]
no
more.
17
Therefore
if
any
man
[be]
in
Christ,
[he
is]
a
new
creature:
old
things
are
passed
away;
behold,
all
things
are
become
new.
18
And
all
things
[are]
of
God,
who
hath
reconciled
us
to
himself
by
Jesus
Christ,
and
hath
given
to
us
the
ministry
of
reconciliation;
19
To
wit,
that
God
was
in
Christ,
reconciling
the
world
unto
himself,
not
imputing
their
trespasses
unto
them;
and
hath
committed
unto
us
the
word
of
reconciliation.
20
Now
then
we
are
ambassadors
for
Christ,
as
though
God
did
beseech
[you]
by
us:
we
pray
[you]
in
Christ’s
stead,
be
ye
reconciled
to
God.
21
For
he
hath
made
him
[to
be]
sin
for
us,
who
knew
no
sin;
that
we
might
be
made
the
righteousness
of
God
in
him.
