5:1 For 1063 we know 1492 5758 that 3754 if 1437 our 2257 earthly 1919 house 3614 of [this] tabernacle 4636 were dissolved 2647 5686, we have 2192 5719 a building 3619 of 1537 God 2316, an house 3614 not made with hands 886, eternal 166 in 1722 the heavens 3772.

5:2 For 2532 1063 in 1722 this 5129 we groan 4727 5719, earnestly desiring 1971 5723 to be clothed upon 1902 5670 with our 2257 house 3613 which 3588 is from 1537 heaven 3772:

5:3 If 1489 so 2532 be that being clothed 1746 5671 we shall 2147 0 not 3756 be found 2147 5701 naked 1131.

5:4 For 2532 1063 we that are 5607 5752 in 1722 [this] tabernacle 4636 do groan 4727 5719, being burdened 916 5746: not 3756 for that 1894 we would 2309 5719 be unclothed 1562 5670, but 235 clothed upon 1902 5670, that 2443 mortality 2349 might be swallowed up 2666 5686 of 5259 life 2222.

5:5 Now 1161 he that hath wrought 2716 5666 us 2248 for 1519 the selfsame thing 846 5124 [is] God 2316, who 3588 also 2532 hath given 1325 5631 unto us 2254 the earnest 728 of the Spirit 4151.

5:6 Therefore 3767 2532 [we are] always 3842 confident 2292 5723, knowing 1492 5761 that 3754, whilst we are at home 1736 5723 in 1722 the body 4983, we are absent 1553 5719 from 575 the Lord 2962:

5:7 (For 1063 we walk 4043 5719 by 1223 faith 4102, not 3756 by 1223 sight 1491:)

5:8 We are confident 2292 5719, [I say], and 1161 2532 willing 2106 5719 rather 3123 to be absent 1553 5658 from 1537 the body 4983, and 2532 to be present 1736 5658 with 4314 the Lord 2962.

5:9 Wherefore 1352 we labour 5389 5736, that 2532, whether 1535 present 1736 5723 or 1535 absent 1553 5723, we may be 1511 5750 accepted 2101 of him 846.(labour: or, endeavour)

5:10 For 1063 we 2248 must 1163 5748 all 3956 appear 5319 5683 before 1715 the judgment seat 968 of Christ 5547; that 2443 every one 1538 may receive 2865 5672 the things [done] in 1223 [his] body 4983, according 4314 to that 3739 he hath done 4238 5656, whether 1535 [it be] good 18 or 1535 bad 2556.

5:11 Knowing 1492 5761 therefore 3767 the terror 5401 of the Lord 2962, we persuade 3982 5719 men 444; but 1161 we are made manifest 5319 5769 unto God 2316; and 1161 I trust 1679 5719 also 2532 are made manifest 5319 5771 in 1722 your 5216 consciences 4893.

5:12 For 1063 we commend 4921 5719 not 3756 ourselves 1438 again 3825 unto you 5213, but 235 give 1325 5723 you 5213 occasion 874 to glory 2745 on 5228 0 our 2257 behalf 5228, that 2443 ye may have 2192 5725 somewhat to 4314 [answer] them which glory 2744 5740 in 1722 appearance 4383, and 2532 not 3756 in heart 2588.(in appearance: Gr. in the face)

5:13 For 1063 whether 1535 we be beside ourselves 1839 5627, [it is] to God 2316: or whether 1535 we be sober 4993 5719, [it is] for your cause 5213.

5:14 For 1063 the love 26 of Christ 5547 constraineth 4912 5719 us 2248; because we thus 5124 judge 2919 5660, that 3754 if 1487 one 1520 died 599 5627 for 5228 all 3956, then 686 were 599 0 all 3956 dead 599 5627:

5:15 And 2532 [that] he died 599 5627 for 5228 all 3956, that 2443 they which live 2198 5723 should 2198 0 not henceforth 3371 live 2198 5725 unto themselves 1438, but 235 unto him which died 599 5631 for 5228 them 846, and 2532 rose again 1453 5685.

5:16 Wherefore 5620 henceforth 575 3568 know 1492 5758 we 2249 no man 3762 after 2596 the flesh 4561: yea 1161, though 1499 we have known 1097 5758 Christ 5547 after 2596 the flesh 4561, yet 235 now 3568 henceforth 3765 0 know we 1097 5719 [him] no more 3765.

5:17 Therefore 5620 if any man 1536 [be] in 1722 Christ 5547, [he is] a new 2537 creature 2937: old things 744 are passed away 3928 5627; behold 2400 5628, all things 3956 are become 1096 5754 new 2537.(he is: or, let him be)

5:18 And 1161 all things 3956 [are] of 1537 God 2316, who 3588 hath reconciled 2644 5660 us 2248 to himself 1438 by 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and 2532 hath given 1325 5631 to us 2254 the ministry 1248 of reconciliation 2643;

5:19 To wit 5613, that 3754 God 2316 was 2258 5713 in 1722 Christ 5547, reconciling 2644 5723 the world 2889 unto himself 1438, not 3361 imputing 3049 5740 their 846 trespasses 3900 unto them 846; and 2532 hath committed 5087 5642 unto 1722 us 2254 the word 3056 of reconciliation 2643.(committed…: Gr. put in us)

5:20 Now then 3767 we are ambassadors 4243 5719 for 5228 Christ 5547, as though 5613 God 2316 did beseech 3870 5723 [you] by 1223 us 2257: we pray 1189 5736 [you] in 5228 0 Christ's 5547 stead 5228, be ye reconciled 2644 5649 to God 2316.

5:21 For 1063 he hath made 4160 5656 him [to be] sin 266 for 5228 us 2257, who 3588 knew 1097 5631 no 3361 sin 266; that 2443 we 2249 might be made 1096 5741 the righteousness 1343 of God 2316 in 1722 him 846.
