2Co5:1 And we know, that if our earthly house of this dwelling be dissolved, that we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, everlasting in heavens.
2Co5:2 For why in this thing we mourn, coveting to be clothed above with our dwelling, which is of heaven;
2Co5:3 if nevertheless we be found clothed, and not naked.
2Co5:4 For why we that be in this tabernacle, sorrow within, and be heavied [grieved], for that we will not be spoiled, but be clothed above; that that thing that is deadly, be swallowed up of life [ a ] .
2Co5:5 But who is it that maketh us into this same thing? God, that gave to us the earnest of the Spirit. [Forsooth he that maketh us into this same thing, is God, that gave to us the earnest of Spirit.]
2Co5:6 Therefore we be hardy always, and know that the while we be in this body, we go in pilgrimage from the Lord; [ b ]
2Co5:7 for we walk by faith, and not by clear sight.
2Co5:8 But we be hardy [Forsooth we be hardy], and have good will, more to be in pilgrimage from the body, and to be present to God.
2Co5:9 And therefore we strive, whether absent, whether present, to please him.
2Co5:10 For it behooveth us all to be showed before the throne of Christ, that every man tell the proper things of the body [ c ] , as he hath done, either good, either evil.
2Co5:11 Therefore we witting the dread of the Lord, counsel men, for to God we be open; and I hope, that we be open also in your consciences.
2Co5:12 We commend not us selves again to you, but we give to you occasion to have glory for us [We commend not ourselves again to you, but we give to you occasion to glory for us], that ye have [ understanding ] to them that glory in the face, and not in the heart.
2Co5:13 For either we by mind pass to God, either we be sober to you. [Soothly whether we by mind, or reason , pass it is to God, whether we be sober it is to you?]
2Co5:14 For the charity of Christ driveth us; guessing this thing [guessing, or deeming , this thing], that if one died for all, then all were dead.
2Co5:15 And Christ died for all, that they that live, live not now to themselves, but to him that died for them, and rose again.
2Co5:16 Therefore we from this time know no man after the flesh; though we (have) known Christ after the flesh [And so we from this time have known no man after the flesh; and if we knew Christ after the flesh], but [right] now we know not.
2Co5:17 Therefore if any new creature is in Christ, the old things be passed [old things have passed]. Lo! all things be made new,
2Co5:18 and all things be of God, which reconciled us to him by Christ, and gave to us the service of reconciling [and gave to us the ministry, or service , of reconciling].
2Co5:19 And God was in Christ [Soothly, for God was in Christ], reconciling to him the world, not reckoning to them their guilts, and putted in us the word of reconciling [and put in us the word of reconciling].
2Co5:20 Therefore we use message for Christ [Therefore we be set in legacy, or message , for Christ], as if God admonisheth by us; we beseech you for Christ, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co5:21 God the Father made him sin for us, which knew not sin, that we should be made [the] rightwiseness of God in him.
