2 Corinthians 5 For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For also in this we groan, longing to have our dwelling from heaven put on: ³ If also being even clothed we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For also being in the tent we groan, being loaded: since we wish not to be unclothed, but to be clothed, that the mortal should be swallowed up of life. ⁵ And he having brought us about to this same, God, he having also given us the pledge of the Spirit. ⁶ Therefore being always confident, and knowing that, being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ⁷ (For we walk by faith, and not by external appearance:) ⁸ And we are confident, and are contented rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home in the Lord. ⁹ Wherefore also let us seek the honour, whether being at home, whether being absent, to be pleasing to him. ¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad. ¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences. ¹² For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart. ¹³ For whether we be beside ourselves, to God: or be of sound mind, to you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together; having judged this, that if one died for all, then all dead: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen. ¹⁶ So that we from now know none according to the flesh: and if also we have known Christ according to the:flesh, but now we know no more. ¹⁷ So that if any in Christ, a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all have become new. ¹⁸ And all things of God, having reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the service of reconciliation; ¹⁹ For as God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their faults; and having set in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For him not knowing sin, he made sin for us; that we might be the justice of God in him.
